Youth Martial Arts       Age 5- 7

These classes introduce young children to the practice of martial arts. This is not a self-defense class. Children this age cannot learn to responsibly use skills that can hurt others. We focus on learning correct technique but not on applying the technique.

While classes are fun, our emphasis is on learning. We do not play games, we only teach martial arts. We use a structured environment where the emphasis is on learning to follow directions, to focus and to control oneself. 

Classes for this age help to improve balance and coordination while preparing children for a strong start in our more advanced youth classes.

This class meets Mondays.and Saturdays.

                                                             This class focuses on:

• Stances/ footwork
  
  
• Punches
  
  
• Kicks
  
  
• Stretching Exercises
  
  
• Meditation/ Focus

Our decades of experience, traditional values, and proven methods attract parents from all over Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. We offer an experience and philosophy very different from our neighboring schools.
