Why Choose Kinder Karate®?
We Know Kids. And That Makes ALL the Difference!
We created a program that combines solid kids' martial arts lessons with FUN and excitement, in just the right combo for this very young age group - preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.
This is NOT a commercial, repackaged curriculum bought from a big box martial arts company. This is NOT a dumbed down version of lessons taught to older kids' classes.
This curriculum was based on our OWN research (much of it done while writing a Master's Thesis on Children and Confidence Building), as well as concepts adopted from our OWN education and training in child development, traditional psychology, Positive Psychology, Neuropsychology (esp. brain development) and Communications.
Because others don't have this background and training, they can IMITATE, but NEVER DUPLICATE
what we are able to offer to your child!
We Teach The "BIG 4":
• Focus • ACTIVE Listening • Impulse Control • Confidence
The Concept
No Yelling - No Punishments - Just Positive Reinforcement
Most parents have never experienced the way we teach before... and are pleasantly surprised by the results we get, very quickly. They are amazed at the control we have with the kids - without yelling.
We call our method the "Triple C Method." (Compliment/Correction/Compliment). We motivate the kids with positive corrections, telling them what we want, NOT what we don't want. Kids thrive on praise - they're hungry for it. And we deliver, highlighting the kids with praise and compliments. We teach what it means to be a leader and show the kids how to become one.
The Execution
Physical Gains: Fine Motor Skills, Balance & Agility
Our Kinder Karate® students will see an improvement (very quickly, in fact) in gross motor skills, balance and agility. With time, they will gain the core strength that will allow them to move with less clumsiness, and even spill over into fine
motor skills, such as writing, holding silverware and cutting paper - all skills which are tested for school readiness. Even more, parents will see an increase in their listening skills and ability to be still for short periods. Parents love the changes they see in their children - increasing confidence, showing more kindness and courtesy for their classmates and siblings, and even more willingness to help at home.
The Energy
Emotional Gains: Patience, Less Outbursts from Frustration
Kinder Karate® can help prepare your child for their first structured school setting, and can be a great partner in helping your youngster to show the proper behaviors at school that will keep them at the top of the class, and off the teacher's "naughty" list. This will continue in Kindergarten and beyond, as they learn what it means to be a leader and a positive influencer.
The Atmosphere
Mental Gains: Increased Focus, Confidence, Memory & Language Skills
Our short class lessons in a small class setting will keep your kids moving and engaged. They will learn more than you thought possible, and will LOVE doing it. Because they see their progress each week, their confidence grows quickly. Every class is ended with either an obstacle course or skill-inspired game that will have them leaving on a fun note, looking forward to next week.
The Result
Kids enjoy showing what they've learned. They love being the leader and the example for new students. And parents love that the behavior changes continue well beyond our walls. Our character program builds a bridge to home that allows parents to make use of our concepts in their family setting. Our leadership program gives kids another level to strive for and shows them what it means to be a leader, and lets them know that anyone with a heart for service can become a good leader.
Our students are our best spokespeople. Their training and development speak for themselves, and continue to be the best advertisement for our second-to-none-training.
