At STEM Martial Arts we believe in giving kids more than kicks and punches. We teach Science, Technology, Engineering & Math vocabulary by using the martial arts platform to do so. God has given us the vision to help kids reach their highest potential, so we teach Biblical Life skills in every class.
Our summer camps have been created to give kids an experience where they will make friends, have fun, learn awesome moves and get closer to Jesus. Kids will become more confidence in their abilities and learn how to encourage others.

Summer’s Here—Homeschool Meets Martial Arts Fun!☀️🥋 As the school year winds down, homeschool families are gearing up for sunshine, freedom—and a little extra wiggle room! At STEM Martial Arts, we believe summer is the perfect time to blend learning, movement, and memories. Here’s why our summer martial arts program is a win for homeschoolers: 1. Keep Minds Sharp with Active Learning Traditional summer “brain drain” happens when kids spend weeks away from structured thinking. Our classes mix physical drills with life-skill lessons—like discipline, focus, and goal-setting—so your student’s brain stays engaged even between chapters of history and math. 2. Beat the Summer Slump Long days at home can feel endless. Martial arts gives kids a high-energy outlet: obstacle courses, partner games, and creative “ninja” challenges that turn heat into heroics. Plus, moving blocks out excess energy for calmer afternoons. 3. Build Social Connections—Safely For many homeschoolers, one downside is fewer team opportunities. Our summer camps and classes foster friendships through cooperative drills, group kata, and friendly sparring rotations—helping your child grow their “tribe” while learning respect and teamwork. 4. Character & Faith Foundations Every session includes a short “Mat Chat” where Mr. King shares a Bible verse or life-skill story. From patience (Galatians 5:22) to courage (Joshua 1:9), your child will carry summer memories grounded in faith and character. 5. Flexible Schedules for Busy Families Choose morning or afternoon slots that fit your week: Mon/Wed: 10 AM Tue/Thu: 2 PM or 4 PM Whether you’re looking for a full summer camp or just a week of trial classes, our drop-in options and multi-week packages adapt to your plans. 👉 Ready for a summer of focus, fun, and faith? Book your free trial or reserve a camp spot today! Let’s make this summer unforgettable—for the body, the mind, and the spirit. See you on the mat! #STEMMartialArts #SummerCamp #HomeschoolPE #MartialArtsFun #ChristCenteredSummer
🏠📚 Homeschool Tip: 3 Ways Martial Arts Boost Focus!🥋 Struggling to keep your learner engaged during homeschool lessons? Martial arts can help train the mind as much as the body. Here are three ways it builds laser-sharp focus: 1. Structured Drills & Routines – Repeating precise techniques (think front kicks, stance work, kata patterns) teaches students to zero in on form and block out distractions. 2. Mindful Movement & Breath Control – Slow‐motion techniques and controlled breathing exercises train the brain to stay present—perfect for tackling tough math or reading chapters! 3. Goal-Setting Through Belts – Working toward each belt rank creates clear, achievable milestones. Celebrating small wins keeps motivation high and attention locked on the next challenge. 🎯 Ready to see your child’s focus—and confidence—soar?

In martial arts, we say “combat without communications is chaos.” Whether calling out a kata count or giving a high-five after class, speaking clearly and listening well strengthens both technique and team bond. For homeschoolers, these communication drills translate directly to better discussion in history, clearer reading aloud, and more confident presentations. 3 Benefits of Martial-Arts Communication Verbal Cues & Timing: Calling out counts (“One… two… three!”) sharpens timing and attention. Non-Verbal Signals: Eye contact, posture, and nods build trust on the mat—and in life. Positive Feedback Loops: Coaches and classmates cheer on progress, teaching students to encourage others. Try this at home: Partner up and practice a simple front-kick drill—count aloud as you switch legs, aiming for crisp, confident calls.
