Grandmaster RON POHOLIK
I’m Ron Poholik, Grandmaster here at Pride Martial Arts.
As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.
But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life.
Because martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.
With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and character.
That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect.
And of course it’s a ton of FUN!
That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training.
So please have a look below to find out exactly how your kids can benefit from our fun martial arts classes.
Thanks!
Any of these challenges?
They are great kids but they just don’t listen, often being told to do something a hundred times before they actually do anything.
They’re bright and intelligent, yet have trouble paying attention at home, in school or in any important situation, even being classified as an “ADD” or “ADHD” child.
They are simply shy and lack the confidence and self-esteem needed to live up to their full potential.
UNLOCK YOUR CHILD’S POTENTIAL WITH JUDO
Navigating the challenges of raising children can feel overwhelming at times. However, there’s a proven, natural, and highly effective way to positively shape your child’s development. No need for medication, strict discipline, or constant coaxing to modify behavior. The answer lies in teaching essential life skills such as self-discipline, perseverance, confidence, and respect through the art of judo.
Judo offers a unique blend of physical activity and mental growth, helping children learn how to handle challenges with grace and determination. Through judo, children gain a sense of humility, respect for others, and a commitment to their personal growth. The practice promotes physical fitness, improves coordination, and enhances problem-solving abilities—all within a supportive and structured environment.
Judo classes provide a holistic approach to nurturing your child’s growth, combining character-building with fun, engaging physical activity. Witness your child transform as they build resilience, develop strong social skills, and become more focused and self-assured. With judo, you’re not just enrolling them in a sport; you’re investing in their future success and well-being.
Sounds like a wonder cure doesn’t it?
But there really is something that does all that. And that’s the power of Judo classes.
WATCH YOUR CHILD FLOURISH WITH EVERY JUDO CLASS!
Children are naturally curious and quick to learn, soaking up new experiences like sponges. The impact of judo training can be seen almost immediately, with many parents noticing positive changes after just one session. Each class builds on the last, fostering continual growth and development.
As they practice judo, children not only improve their physical health but also internalize crucial life lessons such as self-discipline, respect, and perseverance. Enrolling your child in judo offers more than just physical training; it provides a comprehensive foundation for personal success. Through judo, your child will gain confidence, learn to set and achieve goals, and develop a resilient mindset.
By choosing judo, you’re equipping your child with the tools to thrive both on and off the mat, setting them on a path to a healthier, more balanced life.
LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS THROUGH JUDO
In today’s digital age, it’s not just the influence of everyday friends that shapes your child’s character; the vast and often negative world of the internet poses new challenges. Ensuring your child develops strong, positive character traits is more important than ever.
Judo stands out as a powerful tool in this journey. Beyond physical techniques, judo instills a deep sense of respect, discipline, and perseverance. Through the structured practice of throws, holds, and strategic moves, children learn patience, focus, and resilience. Each session is a step toward mastering both the art of judo and the art of self-control and sportsmanship.
Our skilled instructors serve as role models, guiding students not just in judo techniques but also in life lessons about integrity, humility, and cooperation. The camaraderie among classmates fosters a supportive environment, teaching kids the value of teamwork and mutual respect.
By engaging in judo, your child will develop a robust set of skills—both physical and mental—that lay the foundation for lifelong success. They’ll gain the confidence to face challenges, the discipline to pursue their goals, and the character to act with honor and respect in every aspect of their lives.
FITNESS IN DISGUISE: JUDO FOR KIDS
With today’s screen-centric lifestyles, many kids aren’t getting the exercise they need. Our judo classes transform workouts into fun-filled sessions packed with games, drills, and engaging activities that make fitness enjoyable.
Judo helps kids build strength, coordination, and flexibility while having a blast. Beyond physical health, it instills lifelong fitness habits, ensuring they grow into healthy, active adults. Each class not only boosts their energy and focus but also lays a foundation for a resilient and confident future.
SELF-DEFENSE THROUGH JUDO: PROTECTION FROM PREDATORS AND BULLIES
While we hope our children never have to defend themselves, it’s vital they’re prepared. Our judo training is designed to teach kids practical self-defense skills, from handling a bully to protecting themselves from strangers.
Judo emphasizes control and technique, empowering children to neutralize threats without relying on brute strength. Beyond physical defense, judo instills respect and self-discipline, encouraging kids to resolve conflicts peacefully. They’ll learn when to use their skills and, more importantly, when restraint is the best path to safety. With judo, your child gains confidence, awareness, and the ability to protect themselves responsibly.
TONS OF FUN IN EVERY JUDO CLASS!
We know that kids are kids, and they deserve to have fun while they learn!
While school might not always be exciting, we guarantee your child will have a blast in our judo classes. Each session is carefully designed to balance learning essential judo techniques with engaging activities, games, and challenges that keep kids energized and entertained.
Our judo classes help children develop focus, respect, and discipline—all while having a great time. The dynamic environment ensures they’re always learning something new, staying active, and never getting bored. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity to build friendships with other enthusiastic students, creating a community filled with laughter and positive energy.

My son has been attending Pride for two years and I couldn't be happier. I've watched my son go from being a shy child to being more confident. Things are not always easy for my son, sometimes the exercises are hard but he never gives up. Master Ron and Master Branden encourage students to try their best and to never give up. They celebrate the small accomplishments as well as the large one. Students at Pride are taught more than martial arts. They are taught respect, responsibility, perseverance, and courage. Every class you see them helping and cheering on one another. If you're looking for a martial arts home where your child will learn not only martial arts but skills that will help to become the boys and girls they are meant to be, the Pride Martial Arts is where you should be. Not only does Pride offer kids classes, they offer adult cardio-kickboxing classes are fun and quite the workout! Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is like no other! I’m looking forward to returning to class soon! Come join our Pride.

I can't say enough good things about Pride Martial Arts. It's not only a fantastic place to learn some amazing skills, but it's also a very close knit group of people that are like family to one another. Masters Ron and Brandon are great teachers and will always take extra time whenever a student needs it . Very happy our kids have a place in the Pride family.

My children have been going to Pride for over a year now. My son does both Judo and TaeKwonDo. My daughter does TaeKwonDo. The atmosphere at Pride is very much an inclusive environment. My children feel a sense of belonging and encouragement they don't seem to feel at some other places they have done club sports. I like that I know exactly what is expected of the kids at each belt level so I can make sure they're practicing the right things. They are always excited to get on the mat and work on new skills. The Masters really know each and every child they work with and make sure to highlight the child's strengths instead of only focusing on those areas that need improvement. Also, the dojang is very clean and comfortable.

I can't say enough great things about Master Ron and Master Brandon and everyone at Pride. My 5 yr old son started last year in Taekwondo and has enjoyed every minute of it since. When we started we where nervous because he has struggled with sensory issues since toddlerhood. He had a hard time controlling his body and focusing long enough to follow specific instructions. We started at Pride with the hope that martial arts would help him. Pride provides classes that are both age appropriate and fun! My son has not only learned how to better focus and follow directions he's also learned better teamwork, self control, and discipline. He no longer struggles as much with controlling his body and following direction we've watched him grow and transform and we couldn't be happier. Since watching our son grow and learn over this past year and seeing the pride and joy he has in himself everytime he learns a new skill, earns a new tip or promotes to a new belt our 3 year old daughter now also is part of the Pride family and she loves every second of it. Sometimes it feels like we live and breath Taekwondo but seeing what its done for my kids i wouldn't have it any other way. We are so glad to be apart of the pride family!
