Our Programs & Classes

Students and enthusiasts of martial arts have many reasons for their interest in the martial arts. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.

Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, XS Martial Arts Dojo offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule as well. Click here to view our Weekly Class Schedule.

Ma-KiBo-Karate Do MA-KIBO-KARATE-DO® (The way of Martial Arts through Kick Boxing and Karate) – is a martial arts fighting system created by Sensei Jason B. Horne “X”. The fighting system is a combination of Shoto Kan (Japanese Style), Tae Kwon Do (Korean Style), American Freestyle Kickboxing, and Ground Fighting. This system is designed to give XS Martial Arts Dojo Students a variety of tools to use to defend themselves. The system is taught in a non traditional style, and this is the reason our dojo is different from some KARATE SCHOOLS. We constantly alternate between the styles through out our curriculum, and this is one of the largest benefits our school. Our students learn the fierce/hard techniques of the Shoto Kan style; the high kicks and agility of the Tae Kwon Do style; the stamina, constant movement, pound-for-pound techniques of the Kick Boxer; and the cunning and joint manipulation of the Ground Fighter. * All monthly payments are electronically drafted from a checking, savings or credit card account.

Little Dragons Program When you have a pre-schooler in the house you soon learn that they are energetic, always on the move and curious about everything. You want to encourage them to be active but there are few programs available to pre-schoolers that are more than supervised play-time. But what if there was a program for your young child, one that not only kept them active but also taught them Life Skills, like: - following instructions - listening and concentrating - self-discipline - physical agility and coordination My name is Sensei Horne and I am the chief instructor of XS Martial Arts Dojo. My staff and I have developed a highly successful program designed to teach 4 – 6 year olds these very life skills. It is called the “Little Dragons” Program. When creating this program we realized early on that in order to teach 4 – 6 year olds you need to capture their attention and imagination. That’s what makes karate the ideal tool to use to teach life skills to children – they are intrigued by the techniques of karate and are eager to imitate the actions of the instructor. Our instructors know this and therefore model not only good karate form but also good focus, concentration, respect, manners and discipline. The key is a structured environment From the moment your child attends a class you will begin to see how the Little Dragons’ Program is able to make a difference with our students. Every moment of their time has been thought out and planned ahead by the instructor so that the students are guided through each stage of learning. Your child will begin to show real confidence as they start to learn and practice the various blocks, punches and kicks under the direct supervision of our instructors. Because the classes are grouped by age, they are training with students near to their physical and emotional level. Each class your child will be lead through a series of activities and drills designed to develop focus and concentration, lessons that encourage listening skills and team work. And of course the karate instruction is great for improving physical development, balance, agility and strength. Combine all this with our unique home study pages and you have a formula that works!
