Everyone
knows, that its easier to learn when you are having fun.
A great thing about this program is that the
children are learning their skills whilst having lots of
fun.
We play lots of games for warm ups and do a
special little ninja stretch to develop suppleness.
The ninja program is a foundation in martial arts.
This means that although we do teach the children martial
arts techniques to a very high standard we feel that skills
such as Focus, Teamwork, Control, Balance, Memory,
Discipline, Fitness and Co-ordination are more important
that this age.
The little ninja program is a fantastic
program designed to help pre-school children develop their
character education and personal development skills.
Paul has been teaching the program for
many years now and has been continually impressed by the
first-class well- behaved and respectful children that graduate
from the classes.
The ninjas
work on one skill per lesson and receive a different colour tape
on their belts for every skill they successfully pass.
To pass a
class all the children have to do is listen and follow
instructions and they soon pick up the rest.
Every twelve weeks the Little ninjas will have
covered all of their skills twice and will have picked up some ninja
badges on the way, as well as having experienced ninja non-contact
sparring.
They will now be ready for their graduation day when they
will perform all of the skills they have been learning and graduate
to their next belt level.
When they return to class we increase the difficulty level to offer
the little ninjas more challenge.
