Our martial arts program has evolved to include traditional Chinese martial arts as well as incorporating other styles' techniques that are rooted in the older martial art forms. Young or old, big or little, martial arts is for everyone. We will help focus your child's energy in a positive and productive manner. Your child will learn leadership skills to help them succeed in life while increasing their athletic ability and fitness. They will gain the confidence and self-esteem needed to say "NO" to peer pressure and learn about increasing their self awareness and realistic self-defense skills.
The instructor, Renee Warren, recently wrote an article for the Raleigh Academy of Chinese Language that talks a lot about how she teaches her classes and how she excepts and hopes the children will act in their everyday lives. "Whenever I teach, I try to always mention the martial code of ethics known as Wu De.", she states. Here is a small section of her article that really sums up how she and eNeRGy Kidz's hopes that our children will grow.
"There is an old Chinese quote... “It is as wrong for an honest man to act like a thief as it is for a thief to act like an honest man.” Of course my youngest students cannot grasp the meaning behind this old saying. What they do understand is how I bring it down to their level by sternly telling them that the Wu De means that they should not fight with their brothers/sisters, listen and respect their elders, never use their martial skills unless they absolutely have to defend themselves, always be humble and to never lie, cheat, or steal."
As a side note, our Adult Tai Chi classes will begin this week on Thursday, November 3rd at 6:45pm - 7:45pm.
All registration for any of our martial art classes including the Adult Tai Chi can be done from our website or through your parent portal.

We would like to thank everyone that participated in our Dance Week. We had a great time and I hope that the kids had fun in the class that they tried out in. As a quick reminder, don’t forget, we have added a preschool class in the evenings on Mondays at 4:15 to 5:00pm as well as a Hip Hop class for teens (6th grade and up) on Mondays at 5:45 to 6:30pm. With the demand for Hip Hop, we will continue to host the class on Thursday’s at 4:00 for 3rd - 5th graders. If you have a K – 2nd grader that enjoyed the class, we are interested in starting a class on Thursday at 5:15 – 6:00pm. Please either call the office at 790-9400 or you may email Rachel (Rachel@tumblewithus.com) and let us know if this is something you think your child would be interested in taking. We have not opened the class yet, but would love to if the demand is there!
