Tampa Bay Martial Arts Academy

After School Program 

• Available only at  the Apollo Beach location

  A constructive alternative to daycare or babysitting as they have fun developing self-esteem, self-discipline and self-control while learning martial arts.

  Transported Mixed Martial Arts After School for Elementary School (Coor, Collins, Doby, Cypress Creek, Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Summerfield, Summerfield Crossings, Ruskin Christian)   

   The children are picked up from the schools between 2:00 and 2:45 and brought to our location. After arriving they change into their Karate uniform and they buy a snack or eat their own. From 3:15 to 3:45 there is a organized game time (dodge ball, soccer, base ball, volley balloon, team relay races) using blow up balls. At 4:00 to 5:00 is their Karate class. Pick up is between 5:00 and 6:00 PM.
