| Little Ninjas Tae Kwon Do: |
| This class is offered for our 4 to 6 year olds. It is specially designed to help this age group gain classroom and life skills. Some of the skills that we work on in this class are: |
| | Listening: This important skill is worked on in each and every class. The students need to learn to listen to the instructor so the instructor is always working on keeping their attention and helping them to hear and do as they are asked. While keeping in mind the different styles of learning, we diligently demonstrate and give verbal cues for class time activities. Even the games we play are geared to help our students develop this skill. |
| | Focusing: We give the students tools to help them keep their focus on the instructors and not to give in to the many distractions that may be in the classroom environment. By working with our students to keep their eyes on the instructor and their bodies as still as they can when the instructor is talking, it helps them to hone in on what is important at that moment. This will help them as they prepare for their classrooms at school. |
| | Discipline: We work on the skills that help the students keep their bodies and voices still. This helps the students give all their attention to the teacher and helps them to learn without giving in to the many distractions in the classroom environment. This skill also helps our students to learn to keep their hands to themselves and not talk out of turn. |
| | Coordination: This skill is always developing in students this age. We like to challenge our students in a friendly environment and help them to discover what they are capable of doing. For example, use of low balance beams and walking on targets helps them develop good balance while punching and kicking the targets we provide helps them develop good hand and eye coordination. |
|
| The Little Ninja Tae Kwon Do curriculum is designed to be age appropriate, incorporating the following Tae Kwon Do skills: |
| | Hand Techniques: Punching and blocking |
| | Foot Techniques: Various kicks |
| | Forms: A series of combined hand and foot techniques |
|
| Each class incorporates activities (games and obstacle courses are examples) to further develop each student both personally and in a social environment. |
|
| We like to work on all these skills while maintaining a fun, yet disciplined environment. Our instructors work to keep your child engaged and active while instilling in them a sense of respect for themselves and others. Our goal is to help you develop a well rounded child with a feeling of accomplishment and self worth. |
|
| Character development is something we work on in class using tools such as our "Word of the Week". This is a time where we review what the word is, what it means, and how it is used in the students' daily lives. We like to help the students think of how to use the word in various situations at home, school, and when they are in the martial arts classroom. Examples of words we cover would be: Courtesy, Honesty, Self Confidence, Cooperation, and Responsibility. |
