Children between the ages of 3 & 4-years old are in a very distinct growing stage. They are embarking on new discoveries everyday and learning how to cope with all of the challenges in everyday life. Their intellect, emotions, physical capabilities, and social competence all are growing at a rapid rate. So fast, that they often overlook what is important and can hardly tell the difference between right and wrong.

That is where our PreK Kung-Fu Program comes into play. Our program was specially designed for the stages of development of 3 & 4-year olds. We have collected scientific and psychological resources regarding this age group, and used that information to ensure that our program meets the characteristics and capabilities of each child.

Each child will experience training that targets the skills that they are currently developing; skills such as large and gross motor skills, behavior development, and character development. These skills have been broken down into age-specific exercises, games, activities, and drills that compliment their stage of development.

We use the martial arts approach to building their skills through these drills. The approach includes reinforcing good discipline, displaying confidence, and maintaining a positive attitude. Technical martial art training is very limited when it comes to traditional moves and techniques; we reserve that portion of development for the older children who have set a clear foundation of what we consider the preliminary requirements to martial arts training.

With this in mind, we want to reinforce that martial arts training extends way beyond kicking and punching. This includes standing at attention when commanded, responding with respect by saying "yes sir" or "yes ma'am", and maintaining a positive attitude. The mixture of fun games and activities with basic kicks, strikes, and blocks during class, your child's first exposure to martial arts training will generate results! Here is a brief list of what your child will learn:
