Decreased Parent Separation Anxiety
Every Kicks Karate location has a parent seating area close to the action where parents can observe classes. This provides a unique level of comfort for younger children as they learn to interact with others. Parents are close enough for their children to feel comfortable in a new environment, and far enough away to allow their children to interact independently with their instructors and other students. Kicks Karate instructors are specially trained to stimulate, educate, and entertain students in a safe, fun-filled atmosphere for learning.
Early School Preparation
Allow your child to get a head start in the classroom. Kicks Karate students are taught a number of skills that translate very well into the classroom. Students practice simple skills like:
- standing quietly in line
- listening closely to their instructor
- looking in the eyes for concentration
These skills are practiced over and over again in our classes. This “disguised repetition” actually allows your child to intentionally practice good behavior skills while having fun in the process.
Improved Attention Span
Looking in the eyes is one of the most basic skills we teach our students. Your child will learn to always look in the eyes when someone is talking to her. Developing the habit of looking in the eyes leads to improved concentration. In turn, this helps improve attention span and eventually even better grades in school.
First time listening is another important skill our students are taught early on. Students get to be so good at listening that they only need to be told once to do something by instructors and parents.
Improved Motor Skills
At this age, your child’s basic balance, agility, and coordination are all being developed. Your child will become more successful in martial arts and other physical activities as he develops and refines important motor skills while learning fundamental martial arts techniques.
Improved Social Skills
Our classes are structured to allow students to socially interact with each other and work both individually and as a team. While learning in a strict non-contact environment, your child will perform non-contact group drills with other students in the class improving social skills at the same time.
Learning Environment (Edu-tainment)
Successful life skills and habits take practice, time and energy to develop. Kicks Karate instructors are taught to be experts in “edu-tainment”. We discovered a long time ago that students learn and retain more when they are having fun at the same time. In addition, by keeping things both fun and educational, we ensure that the students want to continue to come back again and again.
Top Flight Instruction (maximum 8-1 student/teacher ratio)
We maintain a maximum 8-1 student to teacher ratio in our classes. This helps us guarantee that all students get the personalized instruction they deserve as they advance through the belt ranks.
Safe, clean and sanitary learning environment
One of the most important goals we have is to provide a safe, clean and sanitary place for our students to train and improve. That is why our schools are professionally cleaned each evening. We understand how important this is to our students and their parents.
Our students typically take two classes per week. We offer classes six days per week for your convenience with a wide variety of days and times to choose from. We understand that parents are busy and kids are involved in a wide variety of activities, and these activities sometimes have strict schedules. Those activities may not have flexibility, but we do. Even someone with the most hectic schedule will be able to find class times to suit them at Kicks Karate.
