Martial Arts for Kids & Families

Build Confidence. Learn New Skills. Have Fun!

From Poultney Elementary School to South Poultney Dojo — keep the fun going!

This fall, Poultney Recreation partnered with South Poultney Dojo to introduce local students to the exciting world of martial arts through a six-week after-school program at Poultney Elementary School (PoES).

Led by instructor Terry Bergen and class mentors, students explored basic martial arts techniques while building confidence, focus, coordination, discipline, and physical fitness in a fun, welcoming environment.

The fall program may be over, but the opportunity to learn and grow continues!

Continue Your Martial Arts Journey!

Students who enjoyed the introductory program — and anyone interested in trying martial arts for the first time — are encouraged to continue learning at South Poultney Dojo.

The dojo offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment where kids and adults can train together, develop new skills, stay active, and have fun.
