WHO IS OUR YOUTH PROGRAM FOR?
Our Youth Program is for active kids between the ages of 9 and 17 that could utilize the value of physical and mental self development in their formative years. Our program, which is run by DeShawn Riley, has been designed to help foster self-discipline and self -awareness in children and adolescents. In class we study and implement the importance of situational awareness, fitness, and culture. The pencak silat studies (Indonesian Javanese; the art of solving problems) is based on the knowledge and practice of an ancient south-east Asian combative system called Satria Fighting Arts.
