American Eagle Style offers children's classes for ages 5 to 12, led by Grandmaster Crandall, who has extensive experience as a teacher and school administrator in New York State. The classes are designed to meet the unique educational needs of this age group while ensuring that students learn the same requirements, knowledge, and traditional martial arts attitudes as adults.
American Eagle Style is a traditional "empty-hand" or "open-handed" martial art, which means that its physical skills rely on using all parts of the body as tools for self-defense (hands, feet, arms, legs, elbows, knees, head, et cetera). The style is based on Grandmaster Crandall's extensive martial arts training (over 55 years).
American Eagle Style offers adult classes for ages 13 and older, treating teenagers as young adults expected to demonstrate accountability and respect. Traditional martial arts are designed for all adults, with students ranging from their 30s to 60s and beyond. It's never too late to start.
