Karate for Kids

“Every Kid is a Winner! . Every Kid is Special!”

There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the Martial Arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for kids.

 

The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks for our system are monthly themes such as:
Goals
Self – Control
Courtesy
Integrity
Friendship
Confidence
Self Awareness
Self – Esteem
Perseverance
Self – Improvement
Respect
Dedication

 

In additional to monthly themes, out system includes the unique victory patch. Kids are rewarded special “Victory Stars.” These different colored stars are rewarded for outstanding performance in karate class, school, home or at a tournament competition. Kids may receive the following stars for the following deeds:

 

Gold        Straight A’s, honor roll, or significant improvement
Silver       Special performance awards
Blue         Monthly themes, weekly lessons, classroom performance
Red          Tournament participation

 

For different colored Victory Patches are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Karate Kid:

Blue            0-24 Stars
Silver          25-49 Stars
Gold           50-99 Stars
Blue/Gold   100+ stars

Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers

In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program, we offer the Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers program The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 4 through 6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children’s motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group. This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

Just like in the Karate for Kids program, Tiny Tigers have 6their own unique victory patch and “Victory Stars.” Stars are earned in the same way as the Karate for Kids program, with slight modifications in recognition o the preschool age of the child. Four different colored victory patches are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Tiny Tiger. Except for the logo, the four victory patches of the Tigers are the same as the Karate for Kids patches. Upon graduation from the Tiny Tigers program into the “Junior” or “Big Kid” program, Tigers are rewarded by the opportunity to wear the “Big Kids” or “Karate for Kids” patch.

The rank and testing system used by the Tigers is slightly different than that of the Karate for Kids. Tigers can earn six collectable animal patches to display on their belts as follows: The Tiger for orange belt; the Cheetah for yellow; the Lion for camo; the Eagle for green; the Phoenix for purple; and the Dragon for blue. All six patches, as earned, can be displayed on the child’s belt

Abrahao Jiu Jitsu
 

Abrahão Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Jiujitsu has something to offer every student young or old, male or female. Roughly translated as the “art of yielding” Jiu Jitsu emphasizes technique over power, a clear mind, awareness, flow, self-control and has been a proven self-defense system for people of all sizes even against larger and more aggressive attackers.

The Abrahão Jiu Jitsu children’s program is specifically designed to maximize the understanding of techniques for each age group, while ensuring that every student has fun and stays safe.  As students learn to control themselves in order defeat their opponents they gain the confidence to face other challenges in life.

Abrahão Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s ground techniques are the perfect complement to Songahm Taekwondo’s stand-up techniques. By offering Abrahão Jiu Jitsu our school can provide new learning opportunities for our existing students, as well as introduce other people to the Martial Arts. This program offers students an opportunity to train to Black Belt and beyond in the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF).
