Is Your Child Truly Prepared for Life's Challenges?
In today's world, parents face a crucial question: Are traditional martial arts
programs really going to keep our children safe?
Meet Coach Darryl Johnson, founder of HTK Krav Maga and creator of the Hard Target Kids program. With over 30 years of experience teaching children, Coach Johnson understands what parents really want – and what children truly need.
Beyond Trophies and Feel-Good Moments
"Most martial arts schools focus on fun, discipline, and focus," says Coach Johnson. "And while those are important, they're not enough in today's unpredictable world."
Hard Target Kids is different. We deliver:
- Real, effective self-defense skills
- Age-appropriate training methods
- Confidence that comes from true capability
- Mental toughness to face life's challenges
- All the fun and discipline of traditional martial arts
Why Krav Maga for Kids?
Krav Maga is the world-renowned self-defense system used by:
- Elite military units
- Law enforcement agencies
- Security professionals
- Civilians serious about personal safety
Hard Target Kids takes this powerful system and adapts it specifically for children, ensuring they learn real-world skills in a safe, fun environment.
Age-Specific Training: Because One Size Doesn't Fit All
Coach Johnson explains, "I made sure to follow modern science and have the classes separated not just by skill level but also by age and stages of mental development."
Our programs:
- Adventure Squad (ages 5-6)
- Power Squad (ages 6.5-9)
- Valor Squad (ages 10-14)
Each class is tailored to your child's physical and mental development,
ensuring they get the most out of their training.

- Lifelong friendships
A Parent's Peace of Mind
"There are some parents, and maybe that's you, who actually want their kids to learn real self-defense as they go along their martial arts pathway," Coach Johnson notes. "They don't just want a karate school that happens to be close, they actually want a school that teaches real self-defense."
If you're that parent – the one who wants more than just high fives and participation trophies – Hard Target Kids is for you.
