Anta’s Homeschool Fitness and Martial Arts Physical Education program is a Christian based child development program dedicated to educating children of all ages on the importance of good exercise habits, health and fitness. We believe in the biblical principal that our body is our temple 1 Cor 6:19. We provide specialized youth fitness training and nutritional education. This Homeschool Physical Education program is conducted at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense, an award winning, state of the arts fitness/martial arts center. We are centrally located from Miami or Broward County east of the Florida Turnpike at in the City of Doral NW 41 St Exit. For a decade, our academy in Doral has been family owned and operated, taking care of the fitness needs of families just like yours. Our fitness/martial arts program is also being offered at Divine Savior Lutheran Academy since its inaugural year.

We offer an alternative to the traditional Physical Education programs that are being offered in our public schools which have failed in keeping America’s children fit. Our new generation is being labeled the XL Generation. 1 in 4 children are overweight or obese. God has given us as parents the great responsibility to raise our children not just spiritually and morally, but also we must teach our children to succeed in life and lead a healthy and fit lifestyle. The eating habits that you instill in your children today will last a lifetime. The Bible tells us “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverb 22:16. Our program will educate and motivate your child to live a fit and successful lifestyle, “Today’s Children are Tomorrows Leaders!”

This physical education, character developing program will help a child develop physically and mentally. Our course is taught without the hidden eastern religion and mysticism of most martial arts program and fitness programs such as yoga and tai chi. Children will always be under safe and professional supervision.

The program has three main components and nine monthly themes to keep a child’s interest in a fun and safe non-intimidating environment. The three components are Physical Development, Mental Development and Self Defense. Each component will be addressed in every session. The nine monthly lifestyle changing themes are:

The Physical Development component is designed to increase a child’s natural muscular development, stamina, flexibility, agility, balance, good health, timing, eye to hand coordination, footwork, fluidity, and athleticism.

The Mental Development component is designed to increase confidence and self image through a positive mental attitude through the Zig Zigler’s I Can program. They will learn to art of goal setting, to believe in themselves and to never give up. We will also instill the biblical foundation of honesty, character, integrity, trust, love, respect and loyalty which is being lost in our society today. Through our nationally acclaimed “Bully Buster” program every child will learn the tactics of non-violent conflict resolution. We will emphasize teamwork and anger control. They will also learn about healthy eating habits and nutrition through our SuperFit Kidz program. The above mentioned programs will be rotated throughout the curriculum.

The Self Defense component teaches a child to be a peaceful warrior, first to avoid conflict, then as a last result a simple defensive move to survive an encounter with the local bully. This is a fun, reality based self defense program. This is not a sport, tournament or competitive martial arts program. During each PE class your child will learn a different self defense move or escape. The program will emphasize not hurting, playing or using techniques on friends and siblings.

Within the nine monthly themes your child will be introduced to numerous functional physical fitness methodologies fun fitness games such as: Boot Camp, Fitness Kickboxing, rope climbing, plyometrics, jumping rope, Indian Clubs, medicine ball, tire pulling and flipping, circuit training, martial arts, dodge ball, calisthenics, relay races, and Swiss ball. The program consists of the 4 aspects for optimal fitness: Muscular Development, Cardio Conditioning, Flexibility, Healthy Eating and the Presidential Fitness challenge.
