The weather is getting nicer by the day, and your child is feeling the call of the wild! Unfortunately, at the same time, school success is becoming more dependent on your child’s ability to focus as reviews and finals are quickly approaching. Mother Nature’s draw on your child’s attention, sometimes called “Spring Fever,” is powerful, […]

Such an amazing place for your kids to be all the instructors are incredible and so genuine and my son looks forward to his SKILLZ class every week and is so happy to be apart of SKILLZ of Patchogue!

My Vinny doesn’t like going anywhere and quits everything! We found out about 4GK and signed him up. 5 belts later, he is happy and excited to go to class. They are truly like family. I do believe that’s why my son loves going there. Thank you Skills of Patchogue.

My oldest daughter has been coming here for a year. We fell in love immediately after seeing how wonderful the staff is with working with children of all ages. My second daughter was dying to be in a class also. As soon as she turned 3 we gave it a try and she has blossomed. Seemingly shy I was curious to see how her first class type activity would be. She loved it. Just waiting for daughter number three to be old enough because she is only two, but already feels like she belongs. We absolutely love it.

My two sons have been coming here since December 2016. They absolutely love it & have THRIVED since coming! The older one suffers from anxiety & general fear, he has since built up tremendous confidence & has learned to verbalize any issues he may be having. The younger one is a ball of energy that needed direction & a release, he has achieved focus & better listening skills. The staff is AMAZING! They are welcoming, accommodating & listen to any issues you have whether it be with them, the class or your children. I could go to any of them & speak with them about ANYTHING & feel very comfortable doing so. Si Fu teaches the class in a low-key, fun manner that has the children engaged AND having fun at the same time, it’s not the typical militant style. We received a military discount since my husband is a former marine AND … They run a monthly themed Parents Night Out that gives parents a break without their kids from 7:30-10:00! I am thrilled that we found them & highly suggest to anybody looking for a martial arts school to check them out!

Great team! My daughter loves the school. She has learned so much since she started a year ago. I am so happy I found this place. I am so grateful for Ms. Heidi, Sifu Mike and all the team. Their love and dedication is shown in every class. Good job!!

Much like a car is engineered to drive double (or more) the speed limit so that it can cruise with ease at highway speeds, kids in our Core SKILLZ program work on increasing flexibility so their bodies can work more efficiently at daily tasks.

It's a beautiful day for kicking!

Flexibility is about being bendy, but also about being able to change our minds and learn new things.
#CoreSkillz
Teach your kids to set goals so high that even if they miss, they end up among the stars.
Then teach them that there is no such thing as failure… they either win or they learn.

Happy birthday, Miss Heidi!
Training, practice, class, repetition, development… all of these things are akin to pulling back the arrow of success.
When Jacob attacks his goals, he will fire that success like a cannon at any endeavor he sets his mind to.

One of the top reasons parents bring their children to SKILLZ of Patchogue is to help with building confidence. Parents will often say things like, “My child is shy, so I want to help them with social interactions so they come out of their shell.”
While this can be a complex issue with many uniquely individual causes, here are three quick tips to help your shy child open up.

SKILLZ is a revolutionary concept in age-specific child development training that uses martial arts as a tool to teach powerful skills based on neuroscience, child psychology, education, and exercise physiology.
At our Patchogue child development center, we use developmentally appropriate techniques and symbolism from various martial arts styles to give kids a headstart on success.
By providing a fun and engaging atmosphere in which lessons are taught the way kids learn, we can create strong mentoring relationships that allow us to convey powerful lessons that extend to all areas of each child's life.

Perseverance means pushing through.
It doesn't matter if the task is hard (or too easy), we know people count on us, so we hold the line until we are done.
#CoreSKILLZ kids tend to freeze up intellectually when faced with tasks that are more difficult than anticipated. These 7 to 9 year old kids also tend to be sloppy if they perceive something as too easy (aka "boring").
By working on developing #Perseverance, they are learning the tools for #success that they will be able to use at home, in school, and wherever life takes them.
