Summers off from school can be a time of rejuvenation and fun, but all too often, kids spend their days in front of the computer or TV instead of being active. That’s why Iron Dragon Fitness & Self Defense in Middletown, NY, is proud to announce their fun and action-packed martial arts summer camps. These programs are designed to get kids moving and boost their self-esteem.

The summer camps run Monday through Thursday from July 10^th to September 1^st. Here’s what your child can look forward to during their lessons:

• How to Avoid Confrontation: Taking martial arts classes gives your child the tools to protect themselves from bullies. Iron Dragon Fitness & Self Defense’s summer camps prioritize talking out problems as the best way to diffuse a confrontation before it becomes violent. Kids will develop the skills and confidence to speak up first.
• How to Get in Shape: Children should resist the temptation to be sedentary during their break. Enrolling in a martial arts class exposes kids to fun games and exercises that help them stay fit and enjoy themselves. Some of the camp activities include live sparring practice in a safe and supervised setting, submission and grappling exercises, and striking and blocking practice.
• How to Build Character: While martial arts classes are a great way to build a strong and agile body, they also teach kids important life skills. As part of their curriculum, the studio’s summer camps instill the confidence, discipline, and respect your child needs to be successful in everything they do.

If you’re looking for a way to get your child involved in a sport that helps them improve their health and self-esteem, now is the ideal time to enroll them in a martial arts program. Iron Dragon Fitness & Self Defense’s summer camps are starting soon! Class sizes are limited, so call (845) 342-3413 today or visit them online to learn more about fees, activities, and what your kids should bring.
