 TINY CHAMPS
- Specifically for Children between the ages of 3 &
4-years old are in a very distinct growing stage. They are
embarking on new discoveries everyday and learning
how to cope with all of the challenges in everyday life.
Their intellect, emotions, physical capabilities, and
social competence all are growing at a rapid rate. So
fast, that they often overlook what's important and can
hardly tell the difference between right and wrong.
That's where the Tiny Champs program fits as a prep course
program for our Little Champs (5-7 year old group). Tiny
Champs was designed specially for the stages of
development of 3 & 4 year olds. We've taken steps to
ensure our program applies age appropriate techniques to
meet each child's needs and capabilities.
In the Tiny Champs Prep Course Program, each child will
experience training that targets the skills that they are
currently developing; skills such as large and
gross motor skills, behavior development,
and character development. These skills
have been broken down into age-specific exercises,
games, activities, and drills that compliment
their stage of development.
We use the martial arts approach to building their skills
through these drills. The approach includes reinforcing
good discipline, displaying confidence, and maintaining a
positive attitude. Technical martial arts training is very
limited when it comes to traditional moves and techniques;
we reserve that portion of development for the older
children who have set a clear foundation of what we
consider the preliminary requirements to martial arts
training.
With this in mind, we want to reinforce that martial arts
training extends way beyond kicking and punching. That's
why it may appear that your child is not learning enough
martial arts in class, but the fact is they really are.
The customary discipline protocol is martial arts. This
includes standing at attention when commanded, responding
with respect by saying "yes sir" and "yes ma'am", bowing
in respect and courtesy, maintaining a positive attitude.
With a professional Martial Artist as the role-model and
the mixture of fun games and activities
with basic kicks, strikes, and blocks during class, your
child's first exposure to martial arts training will
generate results!
 JUNIORS
- Our Little Champions and our Junior Karate program were
designed specially for children in those specific age
groups. We realize that children in each of these groups
have specific characteristics that differ from children
younger and older than them. Each group has their own
range of development and characteristics. With these
design each group can benefit from a more specific type of
training that will help them develop the best;
physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
The stages of development for children have been
extensively studied. Research targeted advanced skills
that children of these age groups are in the process of
developing primary skills and characteristics. At Will
Schneider's Premier Martial Arts we have uniquely divided
that research into what we define as 6
characteristics of a champion and the 12
life skills of excellence.
In our Little Champions and Junior Karate program your
child will learn and grow in a process that accommodates
their skills and abilities. They will train with other
children in their age group, and not have to be distracted
by younger or older classmates. This means that their
training will not be slowed down due to the learning
abilities of a younger child; and it will not be sped up
to keep up with the capabilities of pre-teens. This means
better, more functional classes designed just for them.
Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of
achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more
special they feel, the harder they will try. With
that in mind, welcome to the difference at Will Schneider's
Premier Martial Arts. |
