SELF DEFENSE CLASSES
Our kids/family self-defense classes focus on self-defense, confidence, respect, fitness and fun. Our modernized curriculum not only includes traditional World Taekwondo Federation practices but incorporates elements of kickboxing, hapkido, jiu jitsu and kickboxing to give our students the most well rounded practical skill base we can offer them!
KIDS SELF DEFENSE CLASSES
- Age Specific Curriculum
- At UMAC we pride ourselves in understanding the unique needs of different age groups. It really matters. At different age groups, we are all developmentally working on different things. We have different needs. We know how to address those needs and add challenges as children build on their success. We have classes for just 3 year olds (lil’ Dragons), 4&5 year olds (Dragons), 5.5 & 6 year olds (Ninjas), and 7 years + (youth/beginners).
-
- Our kids program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving preschool-age 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 the time between the ages of 3 and 7 are the most important years of a child’s development. Our program will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way.
- By learning martial arts, kids learn skills such as:
- positive self image
- anger management
- respect for self and others
- improved mental focus
- balance
- motor skill development
- Research shows for this age group, 30 minutes is the most beneficial class length and Two classes per week maximum.
