Kidz Kickstart Karate is a form of Zen Do Kai Martial Arts for Primary aged children(5-13 year olds).
This program was developed in conjunction with many Instructors who have had considerable experience in teaching children.
Some of these Instructors are teachers themselves, parents, as well as those who have dealt with adolescents professionally.
There is ample anecdotal evidence in today’s society that demonstrates that the study of martial arts can provide children with many skills that they cannot find in other aspects of their lives.
With our martial art classes we aim at developing a student both physically and mentally, we are helping them to become far more confident about themselves and their place at home and in society.
Classes include: Martial Arts training, physical activities - to maintain or promote weight loss, as well as discussions about some of these topics; bullying, poor study habits and stranger danger.
Martial arts is more than just punching and kicking, it is about developing life skills and having fun!
