WHAT'S THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CHILD?...

CONFIDENCE!

A confident kid is UNSTOPPABLE!
Dear parent,

My name is Danny Ives and I am the owner and head instructor of Ivey League Mixed Martial Arts. I started training in Martial arts when I was just a small kid back in Philadelphia and training in martial arts has changed my life! I believe it can do the same for your child in a positive way. I played many different sports growing up but I believe that martial arts is the best sport for developing a child's confidence and physical abilities. At Ivey League MMA, we don't think that martial arts are only about punching and kicking but more fully about developing a well rounded child. We want your child to gain more than just an understanding of how to defend his or her self. We teach kids to believe that they can achieve the unachievable! We have a saying here we truly believe in, "winning isn't everything but wanting to win is!". Please read on and discover this amazing opportunity I am giving you and your family!

You might ask yourself "what can my child gain from the training offered at Ivey League Mixed Martial Arts?" To that I say "a lot more then you might think!" For starters, we always start off teaching basic life lessons, giving a firm hand shake, making eye contact, being polite and respectful among other things. I don't train kids to be champion fighters, I train kids to be champions in life. That means more than just what they do in the training room. We stress academics, keeping your room clean, listening to mom and dad, staying away from strangers, and proper nutrition. On top of that, your child will learn to defend themselves against bullies, which is becoming more and more of a problem in our society.

Another issue facing many kids today is that they don't get enough exercise, something that we guarantee they will get here. We make sure that the training your child will receive will be challenging, not overwhelming, but physically and mentally challenging. We also ask the kids simple questions about eating habits like "what should you eat, an apple or a bag of potato chips?" We always try to teach the kids that a healthy lifestyle is the lifestyle they want.

Other martial arts schools have their instruction just talk, talk, talk, and the kids get bored. We will get your child moving from the moment they start class. We always have high energy sessions which means your child will sleep well when they go home! Your child will be doing a number of activities in addition to the very highest level martial arts training in the area! They will be running, sprinting, learning basic gymnastics skills, learning how to do push ups, squats, burbees, fast feet, mountain climbers, jumping jacks and so much more! On top of all of that, they will also be learning the most effective martial arts in the world. We will teach your child to do Muay Thai kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Sombo and wrestling. This is the same high level training that we teach to the adults and we have brought that right to the kids classes. You can have confidence in knowing that your child is learning superior martial arts and quality self defense from one of the best gyms in the world. Of course we don't want you to think it's all work and no play, we also do a number of fun games and drills with the kids that are designed to build their athletic abilities and over all martial arts skills, drills such as:

1.   Sharks and minnows

2.   Sumo drill

3.   Tug-of-war

4.   The balance game

5.   King of the hill

6.   Steal the bacon and many others!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, READ WHAT SOME OF OUR PARENT'S HAVE TO SAY!

RAVE REVIEW
 "Martial arts has actually helped to strengthen the bond between my son and I."

My family and I moved to Maryland from an overseas assignment in 2007. I knew I wanted to get my 5-year old son into some kind of martial arts training to help set a foundation for his confidence and discipline. Luckily, I ran across an advertisement in a local newspaper for Crazy 88 BJJ. The free 30-day trial was enough for us to plan an initial visit. Wow was I amazed! Coach Danny Ives, is not only an excellent instructor, he knows how to instill those core sportsmanship and life values in young children. Martial arts has actually helped to strengthen the bond between my son and I. During my recent deployment to Iraq, Mase and I regularly talked about new belts he'd earned or moves he'd learned. Most recently, Coach Danny sat matside with me as Mase grappled through a grueling 16-child division to take 1st in both his divisions at the 2009 Battle of the Beach Naga Tournament in New Jersey.
Coach Danny's instruction has facilitated a level of tenacity, commitment, and physical control I could not have imagined. I have and will continue to recommend him as a coach for any parent wanting to build their child's character.

RAVE REVIEW
 "As a parent I can't be more impressed with what he's learned and with Coach Ives."

My son Fard is eight years old and has been under Danny's tutelage for about a year and a half. As a parent I can't be more impressed with what he's learned and with Coach Ives. Fard has tried a few other sports but he has really taken to Jiu Jitsu. One of the reasons he loves it so much is the fun, stress free environment that is structured for the kids. Another reason is Danny's teaching style and temperament, which are both GREAT for working with children! In the time that Fard has been training under Danny he has gained confidence, has gotten plenty of exercise, learned valuable self-defense techniques and has made several friends in the class. In addition, Fard has been able to compete in some of the local tournaments and has earned medals in each one. As a parent there is no other instructor I have seen that is better with children than Danny. His impressive accomplishments as a mixed martial artist, coupled with the rapport he develops with his students makes Coach Ives and Ivey League MMA my hands down choice for jiu jitsu training for my son.

Ivey League MMA Other kids martial arts programs
YES! High energy classes: we keep our kids motivated and interested! NO! Outdated class structure: talk, talk, talk, with a few punches and kicks....
YES! Realistic self defense: moves that have been proven to work over time, both standing up and on the ground, and ones that can be applied by a child. NO! Flashy but non effective techniques: moves like jumping spinning kicks and katas will not help your child if they are ever attacked. Additionally, little or no ground fighting is taught at all (where your child is likely to end up being that most kids fall down when in a fight).
YES! Family like environment: creating a fun, safe, and inviting atmosphere that your child will WANT to be in and that will cultivate learning. NO! Belt Factory: your child is just a number in a sea of kids that should not be training together and experiences more of a babysitting service rather than an elite martial arts school. Be prepared to pay for every little thing including belt testing that your child is not prepared for!
YES! Highly Structured program and curriculum: each class is designed to maximize your childs mental and physical development using a proven system of teaching and practing. We take a very systematic approach to training our kids. You will see this right away with the classes. NO! Disorganized and misdirected programs: instructors teach off a whim with no particular purpose or guidance. Progress is difficult to measure beyond a token belt promotion.
Boys and girls have excelled in our style of martial arts. Your child can be short, tall, thin, big - it doesn't matter. Our instructors will teach your children and develop a style that works best for them.

Your child is ready to begin their training at 5 years old. We have kids from 5 years old and up. Absolutely no experience is required for your child to begin training. Does your child have attention deficit? Not a problem! Many parents bring their children to Ivey League MMA so that we can help them focus and develop more attention. That is why our kids do better in school and behave better at home. We use mental exercises and discipline procedures to help your child gain more focus and perform better in life.

Do you want your child to learn effective self defense? Not a problem here at IVMMA. All of our instructors have real combat experience. You can be sure that your child is learning techniques that really work and is being taught in an environment that will make sure they are sweating, smiling, and learning!

  • Grade Improvement: The grades go up and stay up! Our program helps with a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility. It is an educational program that will give your child the discipline needed to study, complete homework and organize their time wisely. Ultimately, this leads to better concentration at school and better grades. We make success a habit, not a chore!
  • Leadership Skills: To help them succeed in life! Thai-Jitsu will teach your child how to set goals and take responsibility for their own actions. These qualities, more than any others, will help your child develop as a leader and not as a follower. This, in turn, will ensure their success in school, college and life!
  • Increased Physical Aptitude and Fitness: To help your child develop physically! Our programs increase speed, stamina and agility in children. They also help develop balance, coordination and timing, all of which help your child in sports and other activities.
  • Mental Development: To give your child the courage to say NO in the face of peer pressure! One of the scariest problems facing many parents today is the possibility that their child may become involved with drugs. The number of children taking drugs at a younger age is staggering. But at Ed Clay's Martial Arts, we help promote anti-drug programs that are designed to promote self-confidence and self-esteem--giving your child the strength to resist peer pressure.
  • High Energy Classes: Fun-filled classes your child will truly enjoy! From the children's point of view, the best part about our program is how much fun the classes really are. We focus your child's energy in a positive and productive manner.
  • Realistic Self-Defense Skills: That could save your child's life! While we wish it didn't have to be a factor in our program, we nevertheless live in a world full of potentially dangerous people. We don't give children a false sense of reality by teaching them how to be victorious only in competition. Our program teaches your children how to protect themselves in real-life threatening situations. This invaluable skill could be the difference between life and death!
