It’s hard to be a kid today.
Faced with the pressures of their peers, teachers, adults and the examples of movies, television and music and with superstars and role models in short supply, it’s no secret that young people today are faced with an enormous challenge.
As parents we would like our children to be prepared for the obstacles of life. But in an ever-changing world it is difficult to prepare them for everything that they might encounter. It would be a relief to know that they are ready to make the right choices in whatever they may encounter.
At Mick Doyle’s Martial Arts Center we work to give your child the tools that they will need to rely upon as they go out and face life’s challenges.
Our program focuses on developing the following areas:
Martial Arts are a method of developing a complete person physically, and spiritually.
Physically
Gan Teora develops the athleticism and fitness that a person needs to succeed in life. Balance, power, flexibility, speed, stamina and coordination are all developed through Martial Arts training.
Mentally
When a child learns self-defense they gain a great responsibility. They now possess the ability to harm others, and they must learn to live with this responsibility. At Mick Doyle’s Martial Arts Center we teach our students to fight—so that they do not have to. Through vigorous training and self-discipline they learn to choose when to use it, and when not to.
Spiritually
Martial Art is a journey. Through that journey a student learns who they are, what their strengths are as well as their weaknesses. The student learns individual success and how to win as a team. Somewhere along the way the student becomes a whole person.

I’ve known and trained with world champions in the martial arts since 1975. Mick Doyle ranks at the top of that group. My oldest son, Nick, started training with Mick when he was 8 and was a member of the Junior Team. What Nick learned at Mick Doyle’s has been invaluable to his success not only in high school sports, but in life as well. Now my youngest son, Dylan, has started training at Mick’s and he is so enthused about the classes that he wants to go every night. He has learned effective techniques and the necessary discipline. As a former instructor with other organizations, I can honestly say that I know of no better programs or instructors than those found at Mick’s.
