Diversified Youth Services (DYS) offers Safety Awareness & Self Defense classes (also known as Alert Child classes), KarateSmart classes, Distinct Dance and Dance/Cheer programs.  DYS works closely with San Antonio's school districts to provide quality classes at an affordable price close to your side of town!  Our classes are primarily held in public school gymnasiums after school in Northside ISD, Southside ISD, and Southwest ISD.  Cardinal Kids is the after school program for Southside ISD.  More information about Cardinal Kids & DYS Families can be found on the menu tabs above.  Our instructors and caregivers focus on teaching the whole child in a positive, social environment through encouraging, purposeful instruction while fostering lifelong skills.  

​

Self Defense and Martial Arts skills are valuable for individuals of all ages, therefore we also teach adults/parents in our classes.  Additionally, DYS offers personal instruction to small and large groups such as homeschool groups, battered women's shelters, senior citizen organizations, and hospitals.  Contact Mr. Henderson directly at (210) 310-0216 or dysteamafterschool@gmail.com to learn more.

DYS is committed and dedicated to teaching children, adults, and seniors through affordable, quality programs that foster social skills, self-esteem, and self-defense techniques.  Mr. Henderson and his team have dedicated their life's work to making the world a safer place through their time and dedication to each student.  For this reason, we are always grateful for any donations we receive.  All donations goes to supplies and equipment for our students.  Find a class near you from our Spring 2021 class schedule, and Register your child today!  Thank you for choosing DIVERSIFIED YOUTH SERVICES!
