What is Early SKILLZ?
Three- and four-year-olds are full of energy, imagination, and curiosity, but they’re still developing balance, focus, and emotional control.
Early SKILLZ is a specialized martial arts-based program created just for this age group. It blends structured activities with creative play to build physical coordination, listening skills, confidence, and emotional regulation in a fun, nurturing environment.
Early SKILLZ focuses on 8 core skills:

Kicking
Improves leg strength, balance, and coordination.

Punching
Teaches focus and controlled arm movements.

Blocking
Builds quick reflexes and body awareness.

Crawling
Strengthens core muscles and coordination.

Hopping
Enhances balance and lower-body control.

Rolling
Develops spatial awareness and flexibility.

Running
Builds endurance and safe movement habits.

Catching
Sharpens hand-eye coordination and timing.
Each class spotlights one of these skills through warm-ups, mat chats, drills, and skill-stripe testing. Progress happens fast, and every new belt level unlocks more fun challenges!

How the Program Works
Here’s the structure of a typical class:
• Dynamic warm-up to engage body and mind
• Mat chat to introduce the day’s skill
• Two to three engaging, age-appropriate drills
• Skill-stripe test to track progress and build motivation
• A fun social game to close out every class
Your child will train twice per week, building skills steadily over time. After completing the Early SKILLZ program, they’ll be ready for the next level: Core SKILLZ.
