What is Basic SKILLZ?
At this age, kids are full of energy and curiosity but still need help mastering their bodies and emotions. The Basic SKILLZ program was built just for 5- and 6-year-olds, using proven child development methods blended with martial arts training.
Through age-appropriate challenges and consistent practice, your child will grow stronger, more focused, and more confident. All while having fun!
Basic SKILLZ focuses on 8 core developmental skills:

Paying attention to instructors and tasks.

Teamwork
Cooperating and helping others.

Managing movement and emotions.

Memory

Balance

Discipline

Fitness

How the Program Works
Here’s what your child can expect during each class:
• Dynamic warm-up to prepare the body
• "Mat chat" about the day's core skill
• Skill-building drills tailored to their age
• Stripe test to mark their progress
• Fun social game to finish strong
Classes are held twice per week, and every 10 weeks, your child will have a chance to test for a new belt. With each belt earned, the challenges grow, preparing them for the next level: Core SKILLZ.
