Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our children's After School Program:
We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.
Respect and courtesy are a big part of our culture!
The programming and training offered is geared to benefit kids on a full-time basis for enhanced excellence. We have a number of kids who attend the Afterschool Program 5 days-per-week.
However, for those families looking for an alternative, HRD offers a 4, 3, and 2 Day Per Week Options. Our tuition plans will simply be a percentage of the 5-Day Options. 4 Days Per Week = 90% of your choice (gold/silver/bronze), 3 Days Per Week = 70%, and 2 Days Per Week = 50% of any of our tuition options.
In order to plan space allotments, we ask that the days chosen are the same days of the week on an ongoing basis. While we will do our best to help accommodate permanent day switches, due to capacity limitations we cannot guarantee that possibility.
2 days-per-week is our minimum though, as it takes consistent practice to develop martial art skills.
Actually, you or your child don’t have to bring anything!
We have a special area in our Academy where we keep uniforms and gear for the Afterschool Students only. They just need to arrive from the bus pickups, and everything will be here for them.
We even do the laundry for the uniforms, so don’t worry about that either!
Yes!
If you are not looking for our full afternoon After School Program, we do have regular martial art classes for all age groups of children and adults. Those traditional regular classes meet 2 to 3 times per week depending on the program for that age group.

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes, is that it’s an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self-control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don’t even realize that is what our highly trained kids martial arts instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!
We are specialists in bringing out the best in all of our students, whether they have behavioral challenges or not.
You’ll find our team is so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book a tour now! You will be glad you did!
Depending on which educational school your child attends, they may be training in an early or later martial art class with us. We also do activities, games, crafts, and have some playing around time too, so pickups can be any time after their martial art session.
Some parents pickup right after work, some parents take some time to run errands and pickup before dinner. As long as you have your child picked-up by 6:30pm, all fine with us. Do what works for you that day!
In terms of their classes, if their educational school gets out PRIOR to 3:30pm they will most likely be in our earlier classes which will be done by 4:30pm. If their school gets out LATER than 3:30pm, the Tigers will finish class by 5:10pm and the Juniors by 6:10pm.
On Fridays the groups currently train together and will be done by 5pm.
Warning: Our students are always having an amazing time here with us, so sometimes it’s a challenge getting them to go! They often want to stay longer, so if you need assistance, our staff can help – just ask, ha!
We have a number of local schools that either drop kids off directly at our Academy or that we send a bus to pickup at.
If your school is not listed below, we are open to trying to add it to our list as long as a handful of kids can join. Just chat with us to explore options.
CURRENT SCHOOLS WITH AFTERSCHOOL TRANSPORTATION ARE:
Annunciation, Armatage, Anthony, Emerson, Field, Green, Hale, ISLA, Richfield Dual Language, Richfield STEM, Seward, Windom
Other Notes:
- Justice Page students walk down the street to us.
- Burroughs will drop kids at the bridge near us on the Minnehaha creek and kids can then walk the rest of the way.
- All Minneapolis Magnet Schools will provide busing to our facility. Just have to contact them to ask.
- Other MPLS school transportation has been limited the past couple years after their jurisdiction changes…, however, please call them and ask! We used to have many more schools bussing kids to our Academy everyday!
Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at other sports or haven’t gelled with team sports. Kids martial arts classes really are an individual activity, that they do in a group environment.
The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they make lots of great friends!
We have a fantastic curriculum that helps kids progress through all the levels. Plus, our instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. It’s their PASSION!
This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit a lot!
Getting them active, without them realizing they are learning, is our skill. Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief, that kids blossom in all areas – because of their martial arts training.
Many Twin Cities parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You’ll be glad they started classes!
PLUS…. Most kids LOVE being ninjas!
