We run a series of unique programs for pre and early school aged children focused on developing motor skills as well as instilling important martial arts and life values such as self-awareness, confidence, respect, and etiquette.

Early development of motor skills between the age of 4-6 is essential to set the child on a healthy trajectory toward lifelong participation in sports and activity. Children at this age have excellent physical and mental learning conditions for basic forms of movement due to their neuroplasticity, natural love of movement and activity, love to imitate, and curiosity.

Through positively preparing the child’s skill and attitude towards movement along with the fundamental lessons of martial arts, children are empowered for a smooth transition from pre-school to early primary school and beyond, both physically and mentally.

The programs aims to develop:

• Reaction
• Balance
• Rhythm
• Orientation
• Differentiation

This is achieved through game-based activities including but not limited to:

• Locomotion (Running / Jumping / Hopping / Crawling / Skipping)
• Static & dynamic balancing
• Wrestling / Grappling
• Rolling / Spinning / Twisting
• Climbing / Supporting / Dodging
• Stopping / Landing
