The City of Poway's motto is "The City in the Country". A city with a small country town feel continues to draw families to this area in North San Diego County. Poway shares borders with San Diego, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, and Rancho Penasquitos. Our goal is to make high-quality martial arts training accessible to everyone in the area.
Benefits of Martial Arts Training
Martial arts can bring out the positive qualities that have always been a part of you or your child, whether that is inner calm, positive mental attitude, patience, or self-discipline. Training in martial arts takes many people out of their comfort zones. Learning self-defense is something that is beneficial for young children, teens, and adults.
Physical and Mental Well-being
At Seven Spears Martial Arts Academy, we know the importance of a healthy mind and body. In Karate, students burn hundreds of calories in each class, develop lean muscles, and boost flexibility. Students learn how to effectively defend themselves using both mental and physical tactics.
By incorporating a unique blend of martial arts techniques, SwiftKick offers remarkable mental and physical benefits to individuals of all ages. At SwiftKick, we strive to create a positive martial arts training experience for everyone, regardless of their athletic abilities or experience level.
Self-Defense Skills
Once you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our program will enhance your physical capabilities and maximize your self-defense skills. At the Impact Martial Arts Academy, we are not interested in just teaching self-defense, we are interested in the complete personal development of each student.
