Students at Premier Martial Arts Lutz are being empowered with lessons that have remained firm for over a thousand years.
This martial arts school helps its students develop the personal skills that are necessary to build a successful life, as well as learn how to take on any task, in an environment that fosters inclusion and social belonging.
Its unique curriculum combines the styles of Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Krav Maga and kickboxing to help its students become well-rounded martial artists and human beings.
Owners Dan and Deb Favuzza are excited to teach kids the importance of discipline paired with self-defense.
“A lot of kids don’t get that ‘training’ much anymore where they learn discipline, respect, self-confidence, etc.,” says Deb. “If we can instill some of these values along with martial arts, then it’s a huge win for our students.”
Premier Martial Arts Lutz offers both kids and adult classes. Its adult classes focus on the highly effective self-defense arts of Krav Maga and kickboxing.
Krav Maga is a technique taught to give you reality-based self-protection techniques, tactics and mindset designed to keep you safe. It also is a fantastic way to burn body fat and improve your level of conditioning.
For its kid classes, the martial arts school trains children’s muscles and minds.
One of Dan’s favorite parts of the kid classes are the “mat chats.” This is when the kids will sit down on the mat and discuss a positive topic such as kindness. He and his team will then assign homework for the kids to accomplish during the week that’s relevant to the topic discussed, such as performing five acts of kindness.
“In such a short amount of time, we are already seeing the change in our students,” says Dan.
Dan and Deb both know first-hand how powerful that change can be.
They were first introduced to the practice when their son was in first grade. He was extremely shy and they decided to try martial arts to build his self-confidence.
Their son began to open up and flourish. He ended up spending six-and-a-half years in karate and earned his black belt. He then went on to graduate high school at 16, study abroad at 18, graduate college at 20, and the day after graduating college, moved into his own place.
“I really feel that martial arts helped give him self-confidence, discipline, and definitely brought him out of his shell,” says Dan.
“We thought, if we can help other kids like our son… that’s the positive difference we want to make in this community.”
