Martial Arts Meets Child Development. Welcome to the Ikigai System.
At Molalla Striking Arts, we don’t just teach martial arts — we develop purpose-driven, confident, resilient kids ages 5–13.
What if martial arts could do more than teach kicks & punches?
What is Ikigai?
The Ikigai Child Development System goes beyond belts and forms. We use martial arts as a framework to build your child’s confidence, focus, physical health, emotional regulation, and sense of purpose — all while having a blast.
Each program is age-specific, rotating through physical, emotional, and life skills every 4 months to support whole-child growth.
