The Mini Ninjas program focuses on developing children's basic physical and intellectual skills. By learning the fundamentals of this martial art through obstacles courses, drills and skill games, children will enhance their focus, balance, control, memory, teamwork and coordination in a fun, encouraging and positive atmosphere. By targeting these skills early, children can perform better in school, become better listeners at home and develop increased focus in their everyday lives. 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. Knowing the physical limitations of a small child, we have adapted the techniques in this program to a Mini 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.
Beyond the Mat We desire to have a positive impact on the character of all our students by partnering with parents. That is why we have made our character building program a mandatory part of our Dojo's rank promotion system. Every month, students focus on one of ten character traits that will help develop the life skills needed in today's society such as discipline, respect, proper prioritization, and compassion.
