What is Core SKILLZ?
Seven- to nine-year-olds are curious, energetic, and love a challenge—but they still need guidance in mastering their core fundamentals. That’s where Core SKILLZ comes in.
This internationally acclaimed program uses martial arts as a tool to help kids develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. With fun and focused lessons, students grow stronger, more focused, and more confident, on and off the mat.

Intensity

Perseverance

Speed

How the Program Works
Here’s what a typical class includes:
• Fun warm-up and mobility drills
• "Mat chat" to explore the featured core skill
