Mighty Mites (4-5 year old)
November 27th, 2009Our greatest goal in this class is to have fun and instill a love of martial arts. We also focus on traditional practices such as bowing to show respect and exercising self discipline to listen as well as interact positively with other children and adults. We have interactive discussions about appropriate timing to use karate in school and around the home are part of the discussion as well as touching on concepts pertaining to stranger-danger. Further instruction is given on how to block, punch, and kick as well as teaching basic martial art stances. Key concepts during this instructional period include – high energy fun exercise, confidence building through martial-arts, how to deal with bullying, maintaining self-discipline, and respect for self and others.
