Our Little Warriors Kids program is very unique from others! We teach each child skills that are not only physical but mental as well. We want kids to learn to be a better person and to make smart choices as they grow to be successful adults. Our program combines many different elements that are important in child martial arts. We break our program down into four main areas.
Techniques and Curriculum:
Our techniques are brought from functional martial arts. Each child learns Muay Thai Kickboxing (Punching and Kicking), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Ground grappling) and Filipino Weapons (Padded Sticks and Staffs). We utilize the traditional colored belts to signify advancement and each belt incorporates all these areas of self defense and martial arts. This is very hybrid kids program as it teaches them skills in different areas of self defense. Most martial arts schools only teach children how to kick and punch to defend themselves. We take it further teaching them self defense and martial arts in different areas of self defense, including verbal self defense.
Life Skills:
In our program we teach kids life skills that help them grow to be successful adults. Each child is educated on things like: Self Confidence, Respect, Discipline, Positive thinking, Kindness, Goals, Perseverance and much, much more! We believe that the biggest element that martial arts give your child is a foundation of life skills.
Fit Kid:
One of the biggest problems with kids in our Nation is obesity. Teaching children good fitness habits at young age will help make a child much more confident and healthier in life. Today’s entertainment revolves around game systems like the PS2, Nintendo, Xbox, computers etc..... it entertains the kids, but provides no physical activity. If there is one important element we want in our children’s life, it is for them to be healthy and fit. Fitness leads the way to success and achievement of goals. We have physical fitness requirements for each belt level. We educate the kids on nutrition, physical fitness and pushing themselves. This truly instills self confidence in a child from the inside.
Student / Teacher Relationship:
While a child is growing up they will be faced with many pressures. As they enter the teen years they will become more distant in talking to parents and teachers. We as martial arts instructors want to form a relationship with each child. It would be our hope that if they felt they couldn’t talk to someone close to them that they could talk to us. So in our Little Warriors Kids program we believe in keeping a good relationship between parents, school teachers and martial arts instructors. We also believe in forming a trust line with your child which is open for them to talk to us anytime about life issues.
Each class combines: Marital Arts Techniques, Life skills, Physical fitness and martial arts games to make each class fun, informative and a great child work out!
