What is the Little Ninja's Program?

The Little Ninja's Program is a preliminary martial arts training course that focuses on building 5 - 7-year olds capabilities; physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We are confident in what our program can do for your child.

Children this age are in a unique growth period in their life. They are refined in their gross motor skills, while establishing a foundation in basic fundamental skills. These basic fundamental skills include: focus, teamwork, control, balance, memory, discipline, fitness, and coordination. In any other sport of activity, all of these 8 skills are important to have. The more exposure to proper development in each of these skills, the better your child will be. For this reason, we have tailored a 12-level training course that increases the intensity of each skill at every level.

Here's how the program works

The 8 fundamental skills selected for the Little Ninja's Program were broken down into specific requirements that each student must tackle at every belt level. There are 12 belt levels total, which means that your child will dramatically progress through all 8 skills. This means your child will be sharper, more focused, and better developed physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially than a child who does not participate in a program strategically designed like the Little Ninja's program.

Here are the 8 fundamental skills in order:
1. Focus
2. Teamwork
3. Control
4. Balance
5. Memory
6. Discipline
7. Fitness
8. Coordination

The following section will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of each skill and what your child will learn and develop throughout the entire program.

The purpose of the focus curriculum is to teach the child how to focus with their mind and body. The beginner level introduces the child to the basic concept of keeping their eyes on the target. The intermediate level takes their skills a little further by having the child focus not only on the target, but on their technique of each kick and strike.

The Kickboxing Kidz Program

Children between the ages of 8 to 12 are in a very important stage in their life. With the dream and haunts of being a teenager, which is right around the corner, there are many physical, emotional, social, and intellectual challenges that they all face. With the right developments and positive reinforcement, your child will face their transition as a teenager with an enthusiastic outlook.

Imagine your son or daughter at the top of their class intellectually. We're not talking about a straight "A" student, although that does help, we're talking about a child who is smart enough to make the right decisions; a child who knows how to set and achieve goals; a child who understands the importance of commitment; a child who knows how to persevere through the most difficult challenges; a child who knows when to say "no". Also imagine your child in the middle of a positive social circle who knows how to make and keep friends. Vision your child physically competent, capable of meeting and completing physical challenges. Best image yet, think about how relieving it would feel to see your child day in and day out cope with emotional challenges with a positive outlook.

Do all of those things sound good? Do they seem possible? Did you know that by enrolling your child into our Kickboxing Kidz program, you are reinforcing all of those scenarios through martial arts training? Do you want to know how we are going to do it?

It's very simple.

The Kickboxing Kidz program is an innovative children's martial arts program that was specifically designed to challenge and develop the skills of a pre-teen. This program targets the characteristics of pre-teens and utilizes those characteristics to help them develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. The best part about their development is that they are learning and growing through martial arts training. Therefore, your child will build dynamic martial arts capabilities while gaining courage and confidence, and they will learn how to think smarter and harder with children their same age. It is the best formula for success!

We will help mold your child into a leader, a thinker, and a character that brings out the best in his or her personality. Martial arts captures children's undivided attention. That is what makes their positive growth and development possible. When a child chooses to participate in an activity that is good for them, they know it and support it. Children like to be their own individual who makes their own decisions. Training in the martial arts quite possibly will be the best decision they make during their adolescence.

With your ongoing support, you will help your child lead themselves into the future with a positive attitude. Their commitment and concentration must always have your encouragement and guidance. As a team, we will be reshaping our community one child at a time.

Here is how The Kickboxing Kidz program works:

The Kickboxing Kidz program is split into four series: the beginners, the intermediates, the advanced, and the elites. Upon completion of each series, your child will have accomplished a goal that will lead them to the next. By the time your child completes the final series, he or she will earn the rank of 1st Degree Black Belt- a very high honor and accomplishment for anyone at any age.

Within each series, your child will have to successfully complete each level of training. To complete each level, they will have 5 portions of curriculum to master. These 5 portions include the following:
1. Traditional material- this includes basic martial art moves, self-defense, and forms. Traditional techniques are the basic punches, kicks and blocks. Self-defense they will learn to protect themselves. They will also master new forms to develop focus, power and concentration - each new form will be more challenging than the one before.
2. Dynamic performance- this portion of the curriculum challenges the students skills and abilities in a way that increases their performance and intensity of their martial arts education. Out of all of the portions of the curriculum, this portion was meant to excite the spectators.
3. Sport training- this includes the competitive hand-to-hand application of their martial arts training in a controlled manner. This portion of the training is the most fun for the students, especially as their skills get better.
4. Physical development- it is the most sustainable part of anyone's health to maintain physical fitness. The sooner a child learns the benefits of fitness, the better chance it will stick with them throughout their adulthood.
5. Mental development- a wise martial artist is the best martial artist. When a student understands the importance of morals and values, their confidence and attitude shift to a very positive outlook.

From these 5 portions of the Kickboxing Kidz curriculum, we are capable of establishing and refining physical, social, emotional, and intellectual excellence. The best part about your child's training, besides the many benefits, is that it is extremely fun. The curriculum is challenging enough not to bore them and at the same time is not overly challenging so that they don't get discouraged. With strong goals, effort, and commitment, your child will become the best they can be!
