Family First Martial Arts Training Centers
Welcome Home!
Family First Martial Arts Training Centers, Franklin's newest martial arts school is a very different type of martial arts school. We have taken the most progressive techniques of mixed martial arts, proven effective time and time again, and united them with the traditions and principles of the past. Our curriculum is built around personal development, non-violent conflict resolution, anger management, environmental self defense and leadership training. At our martial arts training center, training is a vehicle for personal growth and is as much about self defense against mediocrity as it is against physical assaults.
People who teach and train together become family. "Family First" is a place to make and strengthen bonds and to have the same lessons of respect and self-disciple you teach to your children reaffirmed in a fun and energetic atmosphere.
Why Family First?
Why should you train at Family First Martial Arts and not another school? There are many great martial art schools in our community and each has a unique benefit. However, we pride ourselves on teaching students to be well-rounded martial artists by cross-training in stand-up, take-downs, ground work and street self-defense.
Apart from the physical, our dojo is a community of like-minded individuals and families. Most people remark that the 'feel' of the school is what sealed the deal in their decision to join. We offer programs and opportunities for our students that are extremely rare for martial arts studios. Students are required to take part in a variety of projects that relate to nutritional self-defense, environmental self-defense, non-violent conflict resolution, acts of kindness, respect and more.
To Whom It May Concern,
My two children have been in Martial Arts for the past seven years. We have had the privilege to have many instructors. Some were great, some not so great. Larry Kooyman and Dani Carroll are great. They have a special gift and are here to share that gift with anyone who comes in contact with them. They not only were my kids instructors but have become very special and treasured friends. They are missed greatly.
