Grasshoppers is a Traditional Martial Arts School, we teach our adult students techniques that are effective and useful in everyday applications. We also realize how different the human body is and how adults may have previous injuries or ailments, Master Power is always working with the students to improve and implement techniques that work for you!
Whether you are looking for a one day course or an ongoing self-defense program, Grasshoppers has it. Proven techniques are taught and practiced in our everyday TaeKwonDo classes. Saturday mornings is a specialized class that deals with street / everyday situations, Master Power knows as Police officer just how easy it is to become a victim. Saturday's classes are tailored to show you easy and effective ways to defend yourself. We also offer specialized self defense classes for women and children.
Grasshoppers Martial Arts School is known across Nova Scotia as having one of the most dynamic competition programs. Our program is different than that of any other martial arts school. Not only do we train our competitors in Traditional TaeKwonDo, but also in “Poomsae” or patterns competition.
We feel to be an excellent competitor, you need to be able to focus and perform techniques under pressure; this is why we stress both the competition and the traditional side of Poomsae. Because our sparring program is not mandatory for belt promotion, we find that our athletes train harder and are more dedicated than those of a “fighting school”.
We can help your child:
- Learn self-defense
- Learn discipline
- Increase concentration levels
- Improve school grades
- Increase physical activity
At Grasshoppers we offer the opportunity to come in and try a free introductory class. We have a mentorship program and a junior instructor program that helps your child become familiar and comfortable for their first experience in martial arts. You are welcome to try any of the white belt (beginner level) classes, but we try to book our first time students on an appointment basis. Please phone the school to book your free class now!
Parents are encouraged to take class with their child. Grasshoppers is one of the only programs in Canada where both parent and child can take part in the same class at the same time.
