They Get to Be a Ninja, You Get to Relax
Parties? At a Martial Arts School?
Hi, my name is Master Eddie Thomas, owner of American Freestyle Karate in Salem, VA. I want to clarify something: YES, we're a Martial Arts School. We normally teach Character Development, Self Defense Skills, and Life Lessons that transform young people into strong, self assured leaders. But years and years ago, one of our life long students (the kind who's addicted to Martial arts, here everyday) asked if she could have her birthday at our school. We were honored to give it a shot. And let me tell you, that day, everyone found out that Martial Arts Birthday Parties are Awesome.
Let me tell you why. In our regular classes, we've seen ultra-shy kids burst out of their shell, ADD and ADHD kids learn how to control themselves, socially awkward kids learn how to make and keep friends, and even helped special needs children find a place to fit in and feel accepted. At our Birthday Parties, this translates into a much different feel than your typical "purchased" birthday party. On this page, I'll tell you a little about our parties, and if you think it might be right for your child, you can enter your email to get a full party package list (there are multiple options) and if you'd like, even schedule your party online.
Set Up, Clean Up, Planning Activities, RSVPs, Booking a Location, and Still Making Sure Everyone has FUN?
Stressful, Right?
It seems like every year it's the same stress. Whether you're planning a birthday party at home or somewhere else, you face a MASSIVE amount of work.
The worst part is that just because you did all the work doesn't mean everyone has fun! There's NOTHING worse (at least for us) than planning, stressing, putting 100% of your energy into something and having people not enjoy it. Or worse, not appreciate it!
Invitations
Purchasing (or making) invitations and making sure they actually look good? Not easy!
RSVPs
If you don’t know how many people are coming, it’s pretty hard to be prepared!
Set Up
It’s your child’s birthday, and you’re supposed to spend all day setting up? Like your life isn’t busy enough…
Clean Up
If there’s anything worse than setting up, it’s cleaning up! Kids are not the cleanest things around.
Thank You Notes
Keeping track of who brought what and making sure they’re acknowledged is near impossible for parents at a B-day party.
Actual FUN
In the midst of all of the stress and preparation, it’s supposed to be FUN! Planning games, making sure all the kids will be happy, making sure all of the PARENTS are happy…not easy.
But There's a Better Way!
We've specifically designed our parties to help parents either avoid or easily conquer these issues. We've had family after family tell us that not only was our party the most fun their kids have ever had, it was also the easiest. And that's our goal!

Birthday Party Reviews
We Think It's Great, But What About Regular Parents?
My boys had a great time at the Ninja Party! So glad we found this program for Gabe. He is getting so much out of it. Looking forward to Elijah participating in a few months. Thank you for everything you do for our kids and the community!
Sara Meli Dudkin, Gabe's Mom
They really do more than just kicking & punching! Skills for life.

Our Parties are Martial Arts Parties
They'll Totally Love It
This isn't your average, run of the mill birthday party. In fact, your birthday child and their guests will actually get to learn REAL Martial Arts moves in a structured, safe environment. It's very, very cool.
Life Skills
At a Party?
Because we're a Martial Arts school, your child and their guests will be walking into a disciplined, structured, culture of success. Yes, we'll have a LOT of fun, but we'll be having fun BECAUSE the party has structure.
As much as kids want to think so, they don't actually have more fun running around like crazy. Our instructors know how to keep the kids engaged and excited, while making sure that they're not out of control (You've seen those crazy birthday parties where kids are just nuts? Not ours.)
