Little Ninjas (Age 4 - 6 years)
- Our Little Ninjas classes are a specifically designed Freestyle Karate program for children aged 4 - 6 years old.
- There can be a marked difference in developmental development between some children during these years, but rest assured the majority of children will progress well enough at their own speed.
- This 30 min (45 min at level 2) class is dedicated to bringing out the best in each child taking part.
- Our expert instructors have a vast amount of experience of working with children from this age range and are well equipped to ensuring every child feels successful and special in their own right.
- As with the Pre School program, they will have a fun, high energy session with each class dedicated to working on mastering a physical skill (ie forward rolls, karate stances, basic techniques), mental attribute (ie focus, listening, concentrating) and character development (ie learning right from wrong, the importance of manners) but they will also be encouraged to try more difficult skills as and when they are ready.
- They will wear a white Gi with a traditional belt and will have to sit special grading exams to acheive each their next level (and with that their next belt), they will have a syllabus which they can take home with them and study. This will show them what is required at each grading to achieve their next belt.
- As the gradings are held seperate to the normal classes, we ensure each student is ready to take them by operating a tabbing system.
- In the first week of every month we assess each students attendance (they need at least eight classes since their last tab or grading) and their participation in the class (ie whether they are working hard, learning the lessons being taught).
- If the instructor is satisfied with both, the student will recieve a tab around the end of their belt signifying their progression towards their next belt.
- Each level of belt requires a different amount of tabs before the grading may be taken.
- The Little Ninjas program is the perfect way to bolster your childs development and ensure they have a fun structured session with other children of a similar age.
