See How Smith's Martial Arts Stacks Up
Compare our Parents' Night Out to the standard evening at home. While a sitter is one option, our program shines with structured games, high-energy social interaction, and a memorable experience that goes far beyond the ordinary.
Without a structured plan, a night at home often turns into hours of mindless scrolling or TV, missing out on physical activity and real social engagement.
Standard childcare can often feel like “waiting for mom and dad,” leading to restless kids and frequent phone calls to check in.
A night with a sitter is just “killing time.” Kids miss out on the opportunity to practice the core values like respect and self-control in a group setting.
Being left to their own devices at home can lead to feelings of isolation. Kids often struggle to develop social confidence when they aren’t around peers.
A typical night in often involves sitting on the couch with snacks, contributing to sedentary habits and a lack of healthy movement.
We keep kids off the couch and on the move with organized games, laser lights, and team activities that burn energy and spark smiles.
Our events are planned adventures. From creative crafts to high-energy challenges, your child will be so busy having fun they won’t even realize you’re gone.
We weave character development into our games. Kids learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and the five tenets of martial arts while having a blast.
Our event is a social highlight! Kids make new friends and build social confidence through collaborative challenges and shared experiences.
We make exercise a habit by making it fun. Kids get a great workout through active play, building coordination and strength without it ever feeling like “work.”
Stay Active and Energized Instead of Couch Time
In the digital age, a typical night for kids often means hours of screen time and sedentary scrolling. Our Parents’ Night Out changes the game by providing a high-octane physical outlet that gets kids off the couch and onto the floor.
At Smith’s Martial Arts, your child can unwind from the school week, move, and have a blast in a safe, supervised environment. We’ve designed our events to be just as engaging and exciting as any video game, but with the massive added benefits of real-world social interaction and physical health. It’s not just “childcare”, it’s about instilling a love for an active lifestyle while they play, jump, and burn off energy with their friends!

Whether they are strategizing during a team mission, navigating a high-energy obstacle course, or simply learning how to win and lose with grace, we’re here to make sure they’re building more than just memories. We know that confidence isn’t just built in the classroom; it’s forged through social interaction and overcoming new challenges in a supportive environment.

Member Reviews of Smith's Martial Arts
Dive into the real stories! Check out genuine reviews from our martial arts family and see for yourself the difference we're making in lives every day. Don't just take our word for it!
My daughter started at SMA to let off steam and to gain more flexibility. What we didn’t expect was to fall in love with it. She looks forward to it and is bummed when we can’t make it to each night. I’ve seen so many positive changes in her in just a short time. She is more confident, comfortable, gaining flexibility, and making friends. I highly recommend SMA. Great instructors with love for the students. If you have not tried them- give it a shot. Nothing to lose but so much to gain.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith run a professional operation. Instructors are well trained and work well with the students. Highly recommend!!
When my husband and I brought our son to Smiths Martial Arts he was in a very low place personally. Circumstances had broken him and he was not himself. The Smiths took the time to not only train him, but showed him he was loved, valued, and showed him what a teacher is suppose to be. They are the definition of a martial artist and lead by example. My son is now better than he was before and has a confidence that we have never seen. Our family believes that things happen for a reason and it led us to Smiths Martial Arts. Smiths Martial Arts is not only a tkd school, it is a place where kids feel wanted, loved and when you walk in you are accepted. The owners truly care about each and every child that steps on those mats as well as the parents. You truly become family. Smiths Martial Arts has changed my sons life for the better and as a parent I am forever grateful for the lessons he gets not only on the mats but the guidance he receives off the mats also.
Our experience with Smith’s Martial Arts has been a game changer. My daughter started in November and I have seen such a positive change in her. She comes out more relaxed, confident, more flexible, excited, believes in herself and her abilities, loves the instructors and environment, and I can’t say enough good about them. They pour into these students (young and mature) each and every session. We love this place. It’s is part of our home now.
Edited to add: 2 years in and we love it more and more as we go! The instructors are amazing and very talented. Watching these kids grow in skill, confidence, and passion is something that makes it all worthwhile. The Smith’s love these students and only want the best for them. We have personally witnessed this. While my daughter took a 6 week break (for a school sport) they heard she had an injury. Without fail, they messaged to ensure that she was ok and if they could do anything. This isn’t just a class. This is family.
Our daughter has been taking lessons at Smith’s Martial Arts for 6 months now. To say it has been an adventure is and understatement. She has good days, and days that it becomes a struggle to get over the separation to go in. Each instructor she has had experience with is very understanding, patient and supportive. She has grown so much in the short amount of time she has been going, and competed in her first tournament this spring. I have no doubt that she wouldn’t have been able to go forward with a National tournament environment if it wasn’t for the love and understanding of the team at SMA!
Smiths Martial Arts is a great place for children and adults of all ages to grow in confidence, focus, self control and achievement while mastering skills in martial arts. Mr & Mrs Smith, along with all the instructions are dedicated, hard working, and caring to everyone.
I can't say enough good things about Mr. and Mrs. Smith and all of the instructors! Our son's coordination and focus has improved tremendously since starting taekwondo here and he loves going and has made new friends. It has been the best thing for him and I can't wait to see what he accomplishes!
Great studio. Super clean. The staff was super friendly. Looking forwarding to signing my kid up!
We have been with Smith’s Martial Arts for three years now and love it! The owners are great to work with, super nice, and helpful. My daughter has learned so much and continues to learn. She loves going! They offer a variety of classes and times making it accommodating to their students and families. I love the instructor to child ratio, and the instructors are encouraging and great with the kids. Would highly recommend!
We recently had a birthday party at Smith's Martial Arts. Even though my daughter has been a student for almost 4 years, she wanted a party there. It was interactive and high energy. Mrs. Meneses and Miss Oehrig were fantastic! My daughter's guests had a lot of fun. The parents were able to sit, relax, and enjoy watching their child. The kids had a mini Taekwando session, an obstacle course, and board breaking to name a few things. This was the least stressful party I've planned & attended. I absolutely recommend it!
Kickboxing class is by far the hardest workout class I've ever experienced in a good way lol. Makes you definitely feel accomplished after the 45 minutes is over.
Come join us Wednesdays at 6!
We've been with Smith's Martial Arts for just over a year now . My little one absolutely loves it and we do also . There has been so much change in her attitude and behavior since joining . The instructors are amazing with the kids and even with as many kids as they have they know them on a personal level and by name . They also have challenges for the mom's for Mother's day and the same for Dad's for Father's day where they can join their child in class and earn a belt for themselves. They also offer lots of parents night out events throughout the year that are fun nights for the kids .
My son loves Heflin Taekwondo! He has been taking classes there for several years. The energetic classes and awesome instructors keep him always wanting to come back. I highly recommend this school for children as well as adults.
Love our extended family. They teach the kids more than Taekwondo forms.....they teach them kindness, respect, compassion for others, and how to make friends
Exceptional Martial Artists that treat you like family. Their knowledge of martial arts is evident in their program but especially through their students. The Smith's are wonderful people and I highly recommend them if you're looking for a disciplined and fun place to learn martial arts.
Wonderful Instructors that teach values as well as skills! My grandchildren love it!
Very friendly staff! Program is structured but they make learning fun for the kids.

FAQs
It’s much more than just a place to hang out! We provide a fully structured evening of high-energy fun. Your child will participate in organized team games, obstacle courses, creative crafts, and social activities. We often include special themes, music, and laser lights to make it a true "party" atmosphere that beats sitting on the couch at home.
Not at all! Our Parents' Night Out is open to the entire Oxford community. It’s a great way for "non-members" to experience our facility and meet our staff in a relaxed, fun environment. Whether they are in our After School program or have never stepped foot in our building, they are more than welcome!
Yes! Most of our Parents' Night Out events include a pizza dinner and a drink for every child. We want to make your night as easy as possible, so you don't have to worry about feeding them before you head out for your own meal. Please let us know if your child has any specific food allergies when you register.
Our program is designed for school-aged children (typically ages 5 to 12). Because our activities are structured and supervised by our professional coaching staff, we ensure that games are age-appropriate and that every child feels included and safe regardless of their age.
We recommend comfortable "activewear" or play clothes (like T-shirts and shorts/leggings) so they can move freely during our games. Since we keep them very active, we also suggest bringing a labeled water bottle. Other than that, they just need to bring their energy and a smile!
More Benefits of Smith's Martial Arts
In a world of tablets and smartphones, it’s a relief to know your child is spending their evening in a 100% screen-free zone. Instead of mindless scrolling, they’ll be engaging their bodies and minds through physical movement and real-world imagination.
School can sometimes feel like a rigid social environment. Parents’ Night Out provides a “reset” where kids can interact with peers from different schools and age groups. This helps them build the confidence to introduce themselves and work with new friends in a low-pressure, high-fun atmosphere.
Unlike a neighborhood sitter who might get distracted by their own phone, our facility is staffed by professional instructors trained in group management and child safety. You can enjoy your dinner knowing your children are in a secure environment designed specifically for active play.
We turn a standard weekend into a core memory. Between the music, the special games, and the “night at the gym” vibe, your kids will view this as a reward rather than a childcare necessity. They’ll be asking you to go on a date night just so they can come back!
