Project: H.E.R.O. is involved in supporting the growth of our kids and their communities through school programs on and off-campus. Kids participating in extra-curricular activities that promote character development see improvement in their academic achievement and are less likely to participate in risky behaviors. Unfortunately, in many states, extra-curricular activities in public schools have been affected by education budget cuts. Project HERO seeks to fill the void, establishing essential character development programs and role models back in front of students grades K-12.

Below is a list of some of our after school programs. To learn more about Project HERO's after school programs or to get your school or organization involved email us at Jerry@ProjectheroUSA.com

We are proud to announce that we have after school programs in all 9 public elementary schools in Carlsbad and 1 school in San Marcos. Our programs are free or reduced-priced to remain affordable at all schools because we believe that every child should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of Martial Arts. All students enrolled in our after school classes are also allowed to attend classes on Saturdays for FREE at the Martial Arts International dojo. This beginner karate class both at school and the dojo teaches kids how posture, focus, and self-discipline can be applied to everything in life and will help them become successful. Students also learn valuable self-defense skills. Each session of our after school programs culminates in a promotional belt test where the students receive their Orange/White belts upon passing their test. The test also includes a free uniform and a sponsorship transfer rate! This is a very exciting day for the students, where the whole family can enjoy the karate demonstration by our Demo Team and refreshments (cookies, water, coffee) will be served.

“Impacting the Community through the Martial Arts” 

At Castro Martial Arts we go far beyond mere kicking and punching. Academic achievement, physical conditioning, and peer interaction are emphasized as well as development in aspects of life such as dealing with bullies is taught. 

Martial Arts is not just a method of self-defense, but a way of living. Its benefits are applicable in everyday life. Our carefully designed program for children of all ages will improve your child’s performance in other sports on top of improving study habits and increasing overall concentration. 

In addition, by building 'self-confidence, self-respect, and self-discipline, we are helping young people deal with the many problems they face growing up in today’s world, including drugs, peer pressure, and gangs. There are so many Martial Arts styles, that one cannot benefit from learning only one. Learning Skills in several systems will increase your knowledge and skill, in turn enhancing one's capability to NOT BE THE VICTIM. 

At CMA, our Martial Arts program is the best way to go. We teach our students using a basic philosophy of positive reinforcement to build self-esteem, confidence, discipline, positive Attitudes and Values.
