FAQ

Where does camp take place?2025-04-23T17:04:54-04:00

The camp takes place at Vital Martial Arts Academy, located at 410 NE 1st Ave, Suite 4, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009

Our new facility features 1,400 square feet covered with professional gymnastics mats and a specially designed 400-square-foot activity area.

Is the camp for beginners, or do they need martial arts experience?2025-04-23T17:05:14-04:00

No prior martial arts experience is needed!

Our day camps are beginner-friendly and provide a fun introduction to martial arts. While there is a martial arts class each day, the camp is also a high-energy, active event with a focus on fun, incorporating field trips, arts & crafts, science, and more. Our experienced staff are skilled at making the activities engaging for all kids, regardless of their martial arts background.

What should my kid bring to camp each day?2025-04-23T17:33:17-04:00

Campers should come prepared each day with:

  • A camp or VMAA t-shirt (provided on their first day)
  • Non-slip socks
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Comfortable clothing suitable for exercise (sport pants are recommended)
  • A nut-free packed lunch and snacks
  • A water bottle with their name clearly labeled on it.

Please note that any medications or medical devices (like epi-pens or inhalers) must be labeled with your child’s name and handed directly to a camp counselor at drop-off.

Do you split up the groups by age?2025-04-23T18:04:43-04:00

Generally, we do not split groups by age; we keep all the campers together. We’ve found that this approach works well, allowing older campers to be positive role models for the younger ones and fostering a supportive environment. We also have junior camp counselors who assist and mentor the older campers.

However, for certain activities, we may split the kids by age or skill level when it helps ensure everyone is involved and gets the best results from the lesson or activity.

 

What is enhanced martial arts (Wushu/Kung Fu) training?2025-04-23T18:09:33-04:00

This is a special program offered within our camp, specifically designed for students with prior experience in martial arts, gymnastics, or tumbling.

Whether you are getting ready for competitions or want to significantly improve specific skills, this program is for you.

Prior martial arts, gymnastics, or tumbling experience is required. Please contact the academy before signing up to ensure it’s the right fit.

Do you have camp options for teenagers?2025-04-23T18:34:56-04:00

Yes, we do have camp options suitable for teenagers. Please contact the academy directly to learn more about the specific programs and opportunities available for older campers.

We first joined Vital Martial Arts Academy for their summer camp - our 10 year old had a fantastic time. Vital is such a kind and caring teacher who engages the kids with so many fun activities that they don't want to leave at the end of the day! The kids in the summer camp and classes stay active, build confidence and learn tons of new wu shu and kung fu skills. Vital is a very talented teacher dedicated to Martial Arts and he is also truly dedicated to helping each child grow in confidence, discipline, and skill. VMMA is a very positive, family-like environment that we absolutely love. Highly recommend for summer camp and classes!

I have been taking Tai Chi and Qi Kung classes at Vital Martial Arts Academy and this experience has been truly rewarding. Training under Sifu Vitaly's guidance has given me a deeper awareness of my body and a renewed sense of general well-being in a way I didn't expect. I am amazed at how much energy the practise of Tai Chi and Qi Kung have given me. Sifu Vitaly is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely invested in his students' progress. He also creates a supportive environment where you feel comfortable learning at your own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Tai Chi!!! I have also had the chance to see the Kung Fu classes for kids and they are fantastic! The kids are engaged, disciplined and learning new skills at the same time they are having tons of fun. Vital Martial Arts also offers a summer camp, which looks like a great option for parents who want something active and structured for their kids. Sifu Vitaly has over 20 years of experience working with kids. Any parent can feel confident that their children are in excellent hands with him leading the way. Overall, after being involved in various activities of this Academy for a long period of time, I can say with certainty that this is a very solid place to train, whether you are an adult or looking for something for your children.

My 4 year old just started classes here and she loves it. Sifu Vitaly is very warm and patient and I can see that the kids here love him. I wanted my daughter to do martial arts to improve her body awareness, coordination, listening skills, discipline, confidence and willingness to push herself and I can see she is getting all of these things here. Very grateful to have found Vital Martial Arts Academy 🙏🏻
