CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS

Our classes in the Little Warriors youth program are taught in a safe, family oriented environment.

We are dedicated into turning our youth into better martial artists, stronger leaders and better human beings.

LITTLE WARRIORS

The Little Warriors program is our program for children of ages 6-12. Our classes in the Little Warriors youth program are taught in a safe, family oriented environment where the goal is to promote confidence, combat bullying and keep your child out of a sedentary lifestyle.

FUTURE WARRIORS

Our goal is to expose children 4 and 5 years of age during their most important developmental stage to an array of physical movements. This training methodology will challenge them while assessing and correcting the children’s mobility, flexibility, pre-mature muscular imbalances, cardio and respiratory endurance

LITTLE WARRIORS

Confidence Building:

The program focuses on building confidence in young participants, helping them develop a strong sense of self-esteem and belief in their abilities.

Bullying Prevention:

Little Warriors equips children with essential self-defense skills and strategies, empowering them to stand up against bullying and effectively handle challenging situations.

Physical Fitness:

Engaging in the program promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, addressing concerns related to sedentary behavior and fostering physical well-being.

Discipline and Focus:

Through structured classes and martial arts training, children learn the importance of discipline and focus, which can positively impact their academic performance and overall behavior.

Social Skills Development:

The program provides a family-oriented environment where children interact with peers, fostering the development of social skills, teamwork, and cooperation.

Goal Setting:

Little Warriors encourages goal-setting and achievement, teaching children to set realistic objectives and work towards them with dedication and perseverance.

Stress Relief:

Martial arts training offers an outlet for children to release stress and pent-up energy in a positive and controlled manner, promoting mental well-being.

FUTURE WARRIORS

Foundational Motor Skills:

Introducing a variety of physical movements at this age helps lay the foundation for essential motor skills like running, jumping, balancing, and throwing. These skills are crucial for overall physical development.

Early Physical Literacy:

Early exposure to diverse movements contributes to the development of physical literacy, enhancing a child's ability to understand, interpret, and apply movement concepts throughout their lives.

Improved Coordination:

Engaging in various movements aids in the development of hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and overall body coordination, setting the stage for more complex physical activities later in life.

Muscle Development:

Targeting mobility, flexibility, and premature muscular imbalances ensures a well-rounded approach to muscle development. This is crucial for preventing future issues and promoting overall strength and flexibility.

Cardiovascular Health:

Incorporating activities that challenge cardio and respiratory endurance supports the development of a strong cardiovascular system, fostering a healthy heart and lungs from an early age.

Enhanced Cognitive Development:

Physical activity has been linked to improved cognitive functions. Exposure to a variety of movements can stimulate brain development, enhancing memory, attention span, and problem-solving skills.

Body Awareness:

By assessing and correcting movement patterns, children develop a heightened sense of body awareness. This understanding of their own bodies contributes to better control and coordination in physical activities.
