	The Fun and Educational Way to Learn Martial Arts for 4 – 6 year olds. Free Uniform! Free Introductory Lesson! No Grading Fee! Our specialized Little Ninja programme is an age-specific curriculum that is professionally designed to teach children in a fun, exciting and enriching manner. Our secret to teaching your child co-ordination, concentration and self-control is a unique method we like to call “Edu-tainment”. This uses the excitement and fun of the Little Ninja martial arts skills to teach key life lessons you would want your child to know.    The Little Ninja Programme is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving young 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, better listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future. We believe that the time between the ages of 4 and 6 are the most important years in a child’s development. Our programme will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way and prepare your child for our Junior Tae Kwon Do class. The following are skills we teach in the Little Ninja class which have both physical and mental benefits for the students  • Focus • Teamwork • Control • Balance • Memory • Discipline • Fitness • Co-ordination In our Little Ninja class we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help each student to be the best they can be at everything they put their minds to. Out motto is “Little Ninjas today, leaders tomorrow” Your child will achieve more than just learning to kick and punch It’s true that Little Ninja activities will keep your child physically fit and that many of the group activities show children the benefits of good behaviour. But, best of all, your child’s class curriculum will also help them to see the value of teamwork, good manners and trying their best outside of the classroom. The 8 Little Ninja skill requirements are composed of physical and mental benefits. This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reaction skills. They will react faster in any physical activities and become a better listener and a more focused student in school. Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop fully. The more confident you child is, the more willing they will be to work with others, and 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. 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. 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 better posture. Developing a good memory is exercise for your child’s brain. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make good decisions. Discipline: Our instructors use 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. It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. The sooner we can promote a culture of fitness and exercise to children the better. The childhood obesity statistics speak for themselves. Children will learn left from right. They will become better physical participants in sports and activities. The better the child’s co-ordination the fewer injuries they will sustain.  Here’s how your child will learn to set goals, build confidence and have a positive attitude. At the end of each class, the students who can demonstrate the skill covered in that day’s class receive a special skill stripe. Each skill stripe is a different colour. The skill stripes are an achievement award and work as an incentive for your child. Once your child has earned all 8 skill stripes they will move up to the next level. This helps your child to see the benefit in trying their best .Little Ninja instructors monitor your child’s progress by his or her skill stripes. Make sure your child is consistent with his or her attendance so that he or she earns each skill stripe before the Little Ninja Grading. If your child had difficulty with a specific skill, the instructor may ask you to work with him or her at home to improve the skills. Homework assignments can be provided so that your child can be the best that he or she can be. Our goal is to thoroughly develop the eight skills in the Little Ninja Programme. With your help, your child will learn and grow with commitment and dedication to excellence in everything that he or she does.
