Meet Your Instructor
Daniel “BRAVEMONK” Haywood
Movement Artist • Martial Arts Instructor • Educator
For more than 28 years, Daniel has dedicated his life to movement, teaching, mentorship, and personal development.
Combining martial arts, movement arts, Hip-Hop culture, fitness, and youth development, his approach helps students build confidence, discipline, awareness, character, and self-expression in a supportive community environment.
At BMMA Youth, every student is encouraged to progress at their own pace while developing skills that extend beyond the training floor and into everyday life.
Where Martial Arts & Movement Arts Unite
Movement As A
Way Of Life
The BMMA Youth Program is shaped by a lifelong journey through martial arts, movement arts, Hip-Hop culture, education, and community.
Students may explore elements inspired by martial arts traditions, movement training, rhythm, coordination, creativity, leadership, and self-expression.
While every class is age-appropriate and beginner-friendly, the deeper goal remains the same: helping young people become more confident, aware, capable, and connected through movement.
At BMMA, movement is more than exercise. It is a tool for learning, growth, discipline, creativity, and community.
Choose Your Path
Small groups. Real
Attention.
Classes are intentionally limited to 5–7 students so each child can receive
personal coaching, encouragement, and development.
