This fun and exciting class focuses on preschool developmental skills. (Level 1)
Little Ninja Classes introduces children, starting from 2 years of age, to martial arts training and character development. Your child will be immersed in an environment where they will exercise the eight main character building skills:
Focus: This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reactions skills. They will excel faster in any physical activities, and will become a better listener especially in school.
Teamwork: Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. Your child will develop character by the confidence and willingness to work with others, accomplishing more and becoming a better leader in life.
Control: Having control means making good decisions. Applied to both physical and social interactions, whether handling a pet or handling a problem. Your child will have the confidence of making the right decisions.
Balance:This skill is crucial to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that initially can be challenging, like riding a bicycle. Developing good balance will make these tasks easier and also promotes better posture.
Memory:Good memory drills are exercise for your child’s brain. The sooner your child starts performing the greater the benefits. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make smart decisions.
Discipline:Our instructors use the Little Ninja drills to help establish that discipline is rewarded through high-fives, smiles, and positive feedback. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing, and willing to follow directions.
Fitness: It’s important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. We show children that exercise is fun and exciting, and parents know it’s a great way to burn off the extra energy.
Coordination:Your child will learn their right from left. We promote not only hand-eye coordination but also foot-eye coordination! The better coordination your child has, the fewer injuries they could sustain. They will also become better physical participants in sports and activities.
This program offers children a strong foundation in these essential character qualities. All classes are taught using safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group through martial arts drills, skill games, and obstacle courses. We take pride in our curriculum that develops, listening and motor skills to benefit your child’s well being. You’ll see the results in only a few classes! Your child will learn to interact with other children in their own age group and skill level with a series of individual, and group activities. The belt/stripe system is unlike the advanced classes. Instead of having a designated test date, your child is evaluated over a 6 week time periods on their progress. Regular positive feedback & high-fives will lead your child into a positive and confident attitude.
