Juniors Related

What is the youngest age you enroll?

The youngest age we enroll is age 4. Our Little Pandas Program is geared towards children ages 4-5. This program allows children to learn basic hand techniques (punching and blocking) as well as basic kicks at a comfortable pace. Some of the benefits of this program include helping children develop balance, motor skills and agility, teaching them to differentiate left and right, allowing them to interact with other children, and teaching them discipline while maintaining a fun, energetic environment.

My son/daughter is very shy. Do you think this program will work for him/her?

Yes, that happens often and Martial Arts can help to improve a childs confidence. By assisting in warm-ups and helping classmates, students break out of their comfort zone and learn to perform in front of a group of people. Students learn to focus and deliver under pressure, which will translate into fearlessness in school and throughout their lives.

My child has trouble focusing. Can Martial Arts be beneficial to him/her?

Absolutely! Martial Arts includes mental instruction as well as physical. Students improve their ability to focus, listen, and learn which will translate into improved concentration while in school. Instructors use repetition to establish focal points and hold ranking exams to assess students, allowing them to accomplish small goals that will lead to bigger ones.
