Lil’ Geckos
Children who are three to four are eligible for our unique program called "Little Geckos". In this program, we use confidence-building exercises to help develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills. We teach the children through positive reinforcement. This interaction with Instructors and other children helps each child develop social skills with their peers, allows them to be more focused and attentive in a class enviroment, plus it helps prepare them for their new journey of starting school.
Ninjas
Our Ninja Gecko Program for ages five to six is focused building a new skill for your child each week. A step up from the Lil' Geckos Program, these skills include Confidence, Self Control, Self Discipline, Listening, Focus, Fitness, Balance, and Coordination. We use interesting and enjoyable methods to keep the student's attention and teach our young students skills that they can use for the years ahead.
Children 7-12
With this age group we focus on the physical, emotional and mental well being, as well as education of the children. We promote nonviolent resolutions to conflict while giving them the tools to protect themselves if necessary. More than any other sport or activity, the Martial Arts gives our children the chance to explore their innate powers and abilities. Parents get excited as they watch their children increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, plus learn to set and constantly achieve new goals. This is only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of value skills, both mental and emotional for each child.
