Transported After School Martial Arts (TASMA) FAQs

What is TASMA?
This is a week-to-week program providing a constructive alternative to daycare, extended day at school or babysitting. This program was developed and copyrighted by Shihan Jim King in 1998. We are a licensed TASMA school.

Why choose TASMA?
To give your child an alternative option to daycare. Our martial arts program will teach: exercise, discipline, respect, manners, self defense and self esteem through earning belt ranks. These newly acquired attributes will carry over into their school work and home life.

What does my child need to bring?
They will need to come prepared to learn each day and must bring their uniform for class.
