Pre-Evaluations – Why Are They Necessary for the Adult Martial Artist?

In an ever-evolving world, it’s essential for us as leaders and learners to adapt, innovate, and apply new knowledge for one main reason – to enhance our lives and the lives of those around us. This belief is at the heart of Glens Falls Karate Academy, especially as we introduce the transformative journey of martial arts to adults.

Why Pre-Evaluations Matter

In our quest for personal development, knowledge truly is power. Our Age-Specific Pre-Evaluations are not just a formality; they are a cornerstone of our tailored approach to martial arts. We understand that every adult stepping into our dojo has unique aspirations and challenges, varying widely in physical, intellectual, emotional, and social dimensions.

During each 15-minute Pre-Evaluation, our instructors dive deep into understanding your strengths, aspirations, and the unique life challenges you may be facing. This is not about conforming to a standard curriculum but about sculpting a martial arts journey that aligns with your personal and professional goals.

The Benefits of a Tailored Approach

Knowledge gained from Pre-Evaluations allows us to:

  1. Highlight Your Strengths & Address Challenges: Understand where you shine and where you could use a boost, whether it’s building confidence, enhancing focus, or improving physical fitness.
  2. Customize Your Training Atmosphere: Determine whether private lessons, group classes, or a mix would best suit your lifestyle and learning style.
  3. Set You Up for Success: Develop a training regimen that keeps you motivated, engaged, and progressing, all while having fun.

This service is always FREE at Glens Falls Karate Academy and is the first step in ensuring that your martial arts journey is as rewarding and effective as possible. It’s about making the dojo a place where personal breakthroughs happen daily.

More Than Just Martial Arts

Our instructors and mentors extend their roles beyond teaching techniques. We are dedicated to finding the best ways to foster your talent, discipline, and spirit. It’s an honor to guide you through a journey that not only shapes your body but also sharpens your mind and enriches your life.

Martial arts is about lifelong learning and self-discovery. It’s about setting a goal and achieving it, then setting another. It’s about understanding that the journey of self-improvement never ends and that each step forward makes you more resilient, confident, and centered.

Take the First Step

So, if you’re on the fence about starting or advancing your martial arts journey, remember, these next steps are 100% risk-free. We invite you to schedule your Pre-Evaluation today and see for yourself how our programs can enrich your life in ways you’ve never imagined.

We’re here to guide you to your personal best, one step at a time. And we’re looking forward to welcoming you to our community.

About our programs

Early SKILLZ
Preschool - Kindergarten

3–4 year-olds are naturally curious. They might not be ready for the rigid structure of a traditional martial arts class ... but they do need to start learning about appropriate social behavior!

- DISCOVER -

Basic SKILLZ
1st Grade - 3rd Grade

It's often easy for teachers and parents to overestimate 5-6 year old children. They're better at following directions and paying attention than younger children, but they still need some help controlling themselves and focusing on tasks.
- DISCOVER -

Core SKILLZ
3rd Grade - 5th Grade

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily - far more easily than we do as adults. Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, but they're also learning the value of self-discipline and respect.
- DISCOVER -

Junior Karate SKILLZ
Middle School Program

Karate may normally make you think of self-defense, fitness, and discipline ... the truth is, it's all of that and WAY more!
Our program helps our students build skills that they can APPLY to every area of their life and empower them to be the very best they can possibly be!

Teens Karate
High School Program

Instead of giving into the moodiness and attitude, take them to our dojo instead! Teenagers are smart and capable - but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations - and an opportunity to be their best.- DISCOVER -

Martial arts training is fun, empowering, and provides a great workout for adults. Studying martial arts is something that anybody - at any age or fitness level - can do. Our programs make learning fun, empowering, and provides a great workout for busy parents!
