Youth Link & Connect Virtual Martial Arts 

Youth Link & Connect Virtual Martial Arts is a response to social isolation during COVID-19 for kids and young adults. The Youth Link & Connect Virtual Martial Arts program is a livestream learning platform that provides structured martial arts related fun activities, and encourages virtual social interaction, discipline, physical and mental wellness, and a positive outlet to release pinned up energy.  

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in profound and unprecedented social disruptions in the lives of our kids and young adults, and with most schools on an indefinite break or blended classroom schedule, homeschooling has become the new normal. Socially isolating during the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t easy for anyone, and that’s especially true for kids and young adults.     

Keeping fit can do wonders for both physical and mental health. Regular physical activity not only contributes to physical health but also provides brain benefits like increased ability to focus on schoolwork, better sleep patterns, and improvement in the ability to balance emotions and stress.

What to Expect

In our online martial arts training environment, the instructor and students are connected to each other through the internet. We do not use prerecording, each class is actually taught by a qualified instructor. Students not only receive real-time feedback from their instructor, they are also able to communicate and bond with fellow students in this online platform. 

Depending on the class and instructor, there may be additional requirements such as other web-based materials, simulations, learning activities outside of the internet, observations, or other projects.

Typically class sessions are 1-hour in duration either two or three times a week. While advancement requirements vary by course, students should expect to be held to the same level of dedication and commitment required to advance in a regular martial arts studio.
