KARATE TIGERS ARE AGES 4-7

The Family Martial Arts Academy’s program for young children as co-created by Sensei’s Paul Keller , Danni Verona OTR/L and Julie Magers is dedicated to providing relationship – centered interactive martial arts training that teaches lifelong  foundational skills.

Many martial arts programs take the concepts of their self-defense system and try to simplify it to teach to young kids. We at FMAA recognize that young children are not just simpler adults but rather they are complex beings experiencing stages of development in which their bodies and minds are growing at an incredibly rapid rate. Our program teaches with the awareness that the patterns of engaged interactions children experience literally create the body/ mind connections that serve as the foundation for their future.

FMAA’s programs support developmentally appropriate activities and interactions in the fun experience of a Martial Arts program. In our weekly classes, children come with their parents who are invited to participate in the class activities as supports and models. The children are lead through exercises that develop the coordination of both sides of the body and brain. There is an emphasis on trunk stability that leads to a healthy sense of physical groundedness and coordination.

The class activities are presented with an awareness of different learning styles and sensory preferences. We use:

∙       Visual cues for body awareness boundaries and pre-cognition of activity requirements.

∙       Clear concise auditory directions, that correspond with modeling and visual  set up of activities.

∙       Repetition of practice for kinesthetic learning

∙       Motivational interactive games

All of the children are recognized for their individual efforts and learning capabilities, while offered the opportunity to develop new skills within a safe, comfortable, and fun atmosphere.
