What is the Little Lions?
Our Little Lions programme is an awesome age-specific martial arts curriculum that is designed to have as much fun as possible while giving your child important life skills, both physically and mentally.
How will the Little Lions benefit my child?
Our primary focus with the Little Lions program is to have fun!
While having a great time we will help improve your child’s basic motor skills, teach them basic martial arts techniques, help improve their behaviour and teach them important life skills like Stranger Danger, bully prevention, good manners and so much more!
What does the Little Lions training involve?
Our class plans are all about having FUN! This is our main focus with our Little Lions. If they’re having a great time they’re more likely to engage with the techniques and want to come back over and over again!
Over the last 10 years, we have developed a curriculum that is designed to meet the needs of children between the ages of 4-6 years old. The core training for this age group is kickboxing and there is very little physical contact between the children. We use lots of different fun equipment to ensure they’re always having a great time.
We focus on preparing the Lions to enter the junior program by developing the mental and physical attributes needed for future training in Martial Arts.
It’s all about FUN!
The Little Lions will learn:
- To improve attributes such as co-ordination, balance, strength & fitness
- Drills and games that relate to the techniques and movements within Martial Arts
- Martial Arts techniques for sport and self-defence
- To listen to instruction, concentrate and focus, respect other students, work as a team and get along with training partners
- To respect their coaches, parents, teachers, their fellow team mates & everybody else
- To develop self-confidence and discipline
- To feel a sense of achievement and accomplishment in themselves
- And most importantly have FUN and make new FRIENDS!
When can my child train?
Our Little Lions class is geared toward kids aged 4-6 years, and are great for development and progression. Our Saturday class is aimed at introducing the Lions to sparring – an essential element of any martial art. Sparring is light contact for the Lions and requires a minimum of 12 weeks continuous training and full protective kit to participate.
