Kickin' Kids Programme (7-9 yrs)

Benefits

Graduations

One of the most rewarding activities that your child can be involved in is the Martial Arts!  Our Kickin' Kids Programme will greatly enhance your child's self-confidence and concentration for a better head start in life. This not only helps them to improve their grades in school, but also prepares them to excel in all of life's challenges. Our students also develop a more positive attitude that will help them to say "NO" to unhealthy peer pressure.

Our Kickin' Kids Programme is an age-specific curriculum that we have professionally designed to teach children between 7 and 9 years old and is the next stage in the Programme for our Little Ninjas.  

Our teaching method is based on disguising martial arts skills into games and fun activities helping your child learn in an easy and exciting way.  

We realize that children this age have specific characteristics that differ from children younger and older than them, but they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges presented to children 10-12years of age.  Although some children between the ages of 7-9 can keep up with older children, and in some cases, surpass them, the average 7 - 9 year old can benefit from a more specific type of training.

Focus & Co-ordination

Balance

Memory

Merit Badges must also be collected for various Technical Disciplines along with Personal Development/Blackbelt Attitude.  
A demonstration of blackbelt attitude: Courtesy to everybody, enthusiasm in class, willingness to help others and to be the best they can be, in class, home and school.

A Terminology Merit Badge must also be collected at each level (with the exception of white belt).  Students must learn the Korean definition for the movements they are practicing, along with the definition of the Patterns and Belt Colours etc.  

Progressing through the syllabus

There are 8 belt colours in the Kickin' Kids Programme ranking from the lowest, white through to Red/White Stripe.
The Skill Stripe & Merit Badge system allows the student to have regular smaller assessments, which result in the awarding of a particular stripe/badge.  Each grade level has a specified number of stripes and badges in various skills and technical disciplines, which the student must collect before advancement to the next level.  

Membership provides training once or twice a week.  We recommend students to attend twice a week where possible in order to fully benefit from the programme. 

Once all the Skill Stripes and Technical Merit Badges have been awarded, the Kickin' Kid will be ready for Graduation to the next level.  Parents will be invited to the Graduation, along with family and friends in order to make it a special occasion for them.  To view our Kickin' Kids graduation pictures, please click here. 

Upon completion of the Programme, the Kickin' Kids will transfer into our Junior Tae Kwon-Do Programme.
