Our KIDS CORE program is geared towards students ages 4 - 6 years old.  Students will learn the core fundamentals of self-defense, body mechanics and proper control.  Our goal is to keep the learning experience fun and exciting for each of our students in order to instill a desire to continue learning.

This class is very Jiu Jitsu heavy for one simple reason...our goal is self-defense.  At this age, striking someone as a means of self-defense can be very dangerous for both the student and any potential bully that he/she may encounter.  The reason why it's so dangerous at this age is because kids lack the dexterity and control it takes to effectively strike another person.  The result often leads to serious injury for everyone involved.  Instead, we teach the kids how to control a bully using technique and leverage without inflicting bodily harm to the other child or to themselves.  We do introduce the fundamentals of striking so they have that foundation, and once they reach the age of 6 they will move up to the Junior Self Defense class where striking plays and equal part in the kids training.
