At Impact Martial Arts and Fitness children love their martial arts classes, and their parents appreciate it. We are a child's strongest ally and a parent's greatest advocate. Watching a child grow up developing the respect, discipline and focus of a martial artist can truly be magical. When they feel the confidence that is developed while setting and achieving goals, you'll know you've made the right decision.
As our Kids Martial Arts students continue to show the perseverance that several years of martial arts training develops, you'll see your child grow into a respected teen and a successful adult as they get ready for college.
Our Lil Champion classes are positive, encouraging and release a lot of energy in a constructive direction. The children are focused, hard working and learning how to follow directions. The instructors are patient, enthusiastic and show that they really care about the children's development.
The curriculum is broken down into age appropriate martial arts skills, balance and coordination drills and calisthenics that will develop core strength and overall body conditioning. Most importantly at this age - THEY WILL HAVE A TON OF FUN!
The Junior Kids Martial Arts classes at Impact Martial Arts and Fitness are designed to give children the skills they need to become successful teenagers. The structured curriculum helps them to learn to set goals, overcome obstacles, and to truly feel the exhilaration of achievement. Learning that things in life are not given to them is a challenging, yet vital lesson.
The skills in the classroom are a combination of high energy martial arts to keep their excitement up and a progressive approach to modern day self defense. Each week they will learn skills to defend against a physical attack. There is also classroom discussion and scenario training on how to stand up to a bully, understanding peer pressure and stranger awareness. This type of training is a must for children to manage the pressures of growing up in the world today.
At Impact Martial Arts & Fitness, we believe in strengthening our community one Black Belt at a time. Imagine if every child had the respected, discipline and confidence that our Black Belts develop.
Imagine that every child you meet could look you in the eye, talk with a strong voice and carry on an intelligent conversation. Imagine if our community was filled with children that could stand up for themselves and those around them in a polite yet strong way. If every child knew right from wrong and had the integrity to choose the right actions. We believe it's possible and is happening right here, one student at a time.

I have always been interested in the martial arts, but never had the opportunity to pursue any formal training. Shortly after my son began taking classes I decided to join in the fun! This was almost three years ago and training has me in the best shape of my life. It has been very beneficial for my overall well being and a great activity to spend time with my son. Sensei Groesbeck and staff are top notch instructors and provide a positive and fun environment in which to learn and train.
My daughter Jaelyn has been training in martial arts close to five years. She is in great shape, more disciplined and respectful due to the Manlius dojo and staff. Great job on the new website.
My 12 year old daughter and 11 year old son are 1st degree black belts training for their 2nd Degrees. I am 43 years old, in the best shape of my life and ready to test for my 1st degree Black Belt. Impact Martial Arts has changed the life of my children and I for the better in a dramatic way! Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Self Control, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit! These are the creeds instilled in the students who study at the Team Manlius dojo of Impact Martial Arts. The entire teaching staff at the Team Manlius dojo: Sensei Groesbeck, Sensei Button, Deshi Mehmedovic and Mr. McDonald are all AWESOME!! They are all very engaging, professional and inspiring. Not only do they teach marital arts and physical fitness but the curriculum also contains character education and anti-bullying strategies. The environment at the dojo is always positive, fun and inspiriting. Believe me it is a place you will want to be and your kids to be!!!
