Kids Program Detail: Our philosophy for our kids classes is simple; if kids have a lot of fun in class, they will WANT to train. Any child who loves going to the class, tries their best, and attends consistently will get good at the martial arts. There are so many things in a child’s life to be serious about, like their school work, chores, etc.. Every child needs an activity that is fun. It is even better when that activity is one that gives the child exercise, increases flexibility and builds strength, teaches them how to defend themselves and the respect and discipline to know when to use it and, more importantly, when not to. We do not want over demanding parents to bring their children to our academy and demand that we make them into the next champion of the world. If your child will become a world champion, he or she will make that decision themselves because the desire needs to come from within themselves. To reach that level, they cannot be forced to obtain those types of skills. Every child that we have built into a champion developed a passion for the martial arts on their own. We enjoy watching the children’s self confidence and self esteem grow as their technical proficiency grows. Not every child will become a champion, but every child deserves to feel a boost in their self esteem & self confidence, and feel better about themselves through the learning of the martial arts. We are not only building champions in martial arts, we are building champions in life. We reserve the right to not accept certain students both adults and children. Acceptance of children for the kids class will be based on the child’s level of maturity. If the child can sit still for a little while listening to instruction, pay attention, and TRY to attempt some moves when shown something, they will be accepted. We are not asking for young adults, but this is also not a baby sitting class. We also do not feel right about taking money from parents if the children is not ready to learn. Every child is different and progress at different rates. That is the great thing about kids. Our classes target 6 – 14 year olds. We are always open to ideas, suggestions and willing to try just about anything, so do not be afraid to ask or offer. Kids 15 years and older are encouraged to attend our adult classes. Our goals in the Kids class are to have fun, build self-confidence and self-worth, emphasize academics, build discipline, develop humility and respect for others, instill good ethics and morals, be an “extended family” support team for the child, and increase flexibility and overall fitness through the learning of Jiu-Jitsu.
