Kenpo Kids is a program designed for children from 7 years to 15 years
of age. The program utilizes Ed Parker’s American Kenpo
Karate System in a uniquely organized manner. This allows students
to learn Kenpo Karate over a period of time while emphasizing
the essential life skills; of self-discipline and control, respect, coordination,
concentration, and most importantly confidence in their abilities not
to just defend themselves, but to walk away from conflicts that can easily
be avoided.
This program also extends beyond the karate school, our Kenpo Kids program
allows us to help your child become focused not only in karate, but in
everyday life. It is our belief that the children will learn and retain
the lessons that Kenpo offers them whilst developing core traditional
martial arts values.
Among
these values are:
Respect
Perseverance
Honour
Courage
Self discipline
In our Kenpo kids program, we focus on developing these character traits.
Along with our character development program we work to encourage physical
fitness in the children that we teach. Recent studies have shown that
a large percentage of our children are overweight and under exercised.
With the help of parents and instructors we aim to change that.
At American Kenpo Karate Jersey® we actively promote
and encourage healthy habits and lifestyles which children will carry
with them into adulthood. As with all of our classes, real self-defence
is taught. Along with the physical aspects of self-defence, street scenario
role playing is used to help guard against real world dangers.
