We help children develop discipline, respect, and focus that carry into school, home life, and everyday routines—encouraging better grades, stronger habits, and responsible decision-making.
Our Henrico after-school program gives families a reliable, high-energy alternative to typical aftercare. We offer convenient school pickup and transportation to our academy, creating a safe and supervised transition from the end of the school day into a structured program parents can feel confident about.
After students arrive, they change into their uniforms, enjoy a healthy snack brought from home, and move into dedicated homework time with staff guidance, encouragement, and accountability. Once schoolwork is finished, students participate in organized, age-appropriate activities before joining their daily martial arts class.
Our modern martial arts curriculum is designed to develop far more than athletic ability. While students improve coordination, strength, and practical self-defense skills, the heart of our after-school program focuses on character development and personal growth. Children learn respect, focus, self-discipline, confidence, and leadership—skills that can carry over into better behavior at school, stronger habits at home, and a more positive impact throughout the Henrico community.
To maintain a high-quality experience for every student, enrollment in our Henrico after-school program is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

New movies and protect yourselfPosted on Vasha WynnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son loved summer camp so much that he begged me to enroll him in the after school program. The staff is very nice and supportive of the students. They also back me up on disciplinary issues. My son knows there will be consequences at home and at MAW when rules aren’t followed.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
