In the Little Ninjas program, children learn the fundamentals of the Kage No Michi Ninjutsu system, such as basic takedowns stances, punches, kicks, grappling, and weapon use. By learning these fundamentals, children will enhance their physical, emotional, and intellectual skills, and improve valuable life skills such as self-confidence, discipline, focus and respect. And of course, they will have the tools to effectively defend themselves should the need to use them ever arise. Drills, games, obstacle courses, and instructor guided all-range sparring make this program both fun and educational.
Parents can expect their child to have fun, but still learn real self defense and martial arts. Students practice and perform their skills full-contact with an instructor rather than being confined to memorizing solitary forms. Students also practice with each other under instructor supervision so that they have experience performing techniques on those of similar size. Knowing the physical limitations of a young child, we have adapted the techniques in this program to a Little Ninjas' strengths and capabilities. Furthermore, all of our drills and games are martial arts technique-focused and are designed to hide repetition in order to maximize enjoyment for the child.
We also incorporate Stranger Danger techniques into the regular training to help keep children safe in the world they live in today. We believe that our job as self defense instructors would not be complete without this very important aspect of child safety.
