Children's Programs
Future Kidz (3-4 Year Olds)
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 Future Kidz Prep Course Program comes into play. Our program was specially designed for the stages of development of 3 & 4-year olds. We"ve collected scientific and psychological resources regarding this age group, and used that information to ensure that our program meets each child"s characteristics and capabilities.
In the Future Kidz 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 art 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 to the flags and each other, and maintaining a positive attitude. With professional Martial Artists as the role-model instructors, 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!
Here is a brief list of what your child will learn:
- Motor skill development

Childrens Kung-Fu
Imagine your son or daughter at the top of their class intellectually. We"re not talking about a straight “A” student, although that does help, we"re talking about a child who is smart enough to make the right decisions; a child who knows how to set and achieve goals; a child who understands the importance of commitment; a child who knows how to persevere through the most difficult challenges; a child who knows when to say “no”. Also imagine your child in the middle of a positive social circle who knows how to make and keep friends. Vision your child physically competent, capable of meeting and completing physical challenges. Best image yet, think about how relieving it would feel to see your child, day in and day out, cope with emotional challenges with a positive outlook.
Do all of those things sound good? Do they seem possible? Did you know that by enrolling your child into our Kung-Fu program, you are reinforcing all of those scenarios through martial arts training? Do you want to know how we are going to do it?
It"s very simple.
The Kung-Fu Program is an innovative children"s martial arts program that was specifically designed to challenge and develop the skills of a child. This program targets the characteristics of children and utilizes those characteristics to help them develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. The best part about their development is that they are learning and growing through martial arts training. Therefore, your child will build dynamic martial arts capabilities while gaining courage and confidence, and they will learn how to think smarter and harder with children their same age. It is the best formula for success!
We will help mold your child into a leader, a dreamer, and a character that brings out the best in his or her personality. Martial arts capture children"s undivided attention. That is what makes their positive growth and development possible. When a child chooses to participate in an activity that is good for them, they know it and support it. Children like to be their own individual who makes their own decisions. Training in the martial arts quite possibly will be the best decision they make during their adolescence.
With your ongoing support, you will help lead your child into the future with a positive attitude. Their commitment and concentration must always have your encouragement and guidance. As a team, we will be reshaping our community one child at a time.
