Special martial arts programs designed just for kids ages 2 through 6.
Welcome!
The Junior Little
Ninjas (for 3 year old girls and
boys) and Little Ninjas
Program (for 4, 5, and 6 year old
girls and boys) is a detailed curriculum that
focuses on improving preschool-age children's basic motor and listening skills.
These skills will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic
outlook. They will become better students at school and better listeners at home
and more ambitious towards the future. We believe the time between the ages of 3
and 6 are the most important of a child's development. Our program will enhance
positive development in a fun and motivating way.
The Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas Program will also prepare your child for our Martial Arts
Belts Program beginning at age 7. In the Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas classes, your child will be exposed to
positive social interaction. They will learn how to work with others and follow
directions from their instructors. Our Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas instructors are good role
models who are trained specifically to work with preschool-aged children.
The Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas curriculum consists of developing 8 Major Skills that are
necessary for participation in any sport or activity. The curriculum also
contains 8 Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas Personal Development Skills that are used to reinforce
family values. Upon completion of our Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas Program, your child will
become focused and motivated to achieve any goal they set in life!
The 8 Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas skill requirements are composed of physical and mental
benefits. The following are the skills with the benefits from participating in
Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas class:
Skill # 1: FOCUS -- This This skill will
help your child's aim, listening skills, and reaction skills. They will excel
faster in any physical activities. Your child will also become a better listener
and a more focused student in school.
Skill # 2: TEAMWORK -- Teamwork is a
necessary skill for any young child to develop. The more your child is willing
to work with others, the more he or she will accomplish. Your child will develop
character, which will help him or her make new friends and become a better
leader in life.
Skill # 3: CONTROL -- Having control means
making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or handling a
problem, he or she will learn to make the right decisions. Control builds
confidence.
Skill # 4: BALANCE -- This skill is crucial
to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many
physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Your
child will develop good balance and a better posture.
Skill # 5: MEMORY -- Developing a good
memory is exercise for your child's brain. The sooner your child exercises his
or her brain, the smarter he or she will become. Our drills are constantly
helping your child think and make smart decisions.
Skill # 6: DISCIPLINE -- Our
instructors use the Little Ninja drills to help create the vision that
discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right
thing. Your child will also follow directions better.
Skill #7: FITNESS -- It is important for
children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If
your child does not burn off excess energy exercising, how will he or she burn
off all the energy?
Skill # 8: COORDINATION -- Your child will
learn left from right. They will become better physical participants in sports
and activities. The better coordination your child has, the fewer injuries your
child will sustain.
In our Junior Little Ninjas and Little Ninjas classes, we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is
to help your preschooler be the best they can be at everything they put their
minds to. Our motto is, "Little Kids today, leaders tomorrow."
