Martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt. With every class we teach, your child is growing in mind, body and character. And of course, it’s a ton of FUN! So please have a look below to find out exactly how children ages 3 - 5 can benefit from our Pee Wee Kicker martial arts classes.

Develops basic skills. Children learn basic skills through fun martial arts exercises such as: motor skills, left/right recognition, coordination, cooperation, following instructions, following rules, interaction with peers/teacher, and respect for others.

Instructs simple self defense principles. With children ages 3 - 5 it’s important to introduce self defense without intimidating or overwhelming them. Concepts that are taught include personal space, using our voice as a weapon, and stranger danger.

Builds a strong foundation. By acclimating to martial arts movement at an early age, a strong foundation is built for proficient practice and development as the student gets older. Many of our most decorated Black Belts launched out of our Pee Wee Kickers program.

Provides an excellent steppingstone to school. Pee Wee Kickers classes are an exceptional intermediate step between the home environment and preschool or kindergarten. Often, Pee Wee Kickers classes are one of the first structured environments for the participants outside of their home. We establish positive habits that kids can bring with them to school.

Teaches discipline. We teach discipline through positive reinforcement, modeling, and discussions about appropriate behavior. Discipline allows you to achieve goals by weeding out the distractions in your life through self-control. Discipline makes for more intelligent, emotionally stable, and motivated students.

Keeps kids active. There is no doubt that martial arts is great exercise and the process of training in martial arts is more exciting and fun for kids because it is fast-paced and each class is different. Our workouts develop strength, quickness, balance, flexibility, and stamina.

Instills confidence. Classes are built around a stripe system, and the concept of setting children up for success by giving them a series of realistic, short term goals that they can attain to earn colorful stripes on their belt. With each success, their confidence improves until they believe that, with hard work and dedication, they can accomplish just about anything.

Pee Wee Kicker classes are Once-a-Week.
