The Karate Kidz Zone Prep program was designed specially for children ages 6 & 7 years old. Children this age have specific characteristics that differ from children younger and older than them. They are sharper and more focused than children 5 and under, however, they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges presented to children 8 to 11 years of age. Although some children between the ages of 6 & 8 can keep up with older children, and in some cases, surpass them, the average 6 & 7 year old can benefit from a more specific type of training that will help them develop the best; physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
The stages of development for children 6 & 7 years old have been studied. Research targeted 8 advanced skills that this particular age group is in the process of developing. Those skills are: concentration, perseverance, courage, intensity, speed, agility, technique and flexibility. To complete the study and design the perfect curriculum for this age group, a thorough curriculum was developed and the Prep Course was born.
In the Prep Course program, your child will learn and grow in a process that accommodates their skills and abilities. They will train with other children in their age group, and not have to be distracted by younger or older classmates. This means that their training will not be slowed down due to the learning abilities of a younger child; and it will not be sped up to keep up with the capabilities of a pre-teen. This means better, more functional classes designed just for them. Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more special they feel, the harder they will try.
Here’s how the Karate Kidz Zone Prep Course program works
The 8 advanced skills selected for the Prep Course program were broken down into specific requirements that each student must tackle at every belt level. There are 9 belt levels total, which means that your child will dramatically progress through all 8 skills. This means your child will be sharper, more focused, and better developed physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially than a child who does not participate in a program strategically designed like the Prep Course.
Here are the 8 advanced skills broken down in the Prep Course definition:
- Concentration- your child will learn how to focus all of their attention to the task at hand while committing themselves to learning and growing.
- Perseverance- your child will learn how to face challenges presented to them; knowing that the challenges will be difficult to complete.
- Courage- your child will learn how to overcome fear and nervousness through training that initially seems intimidating.
- Intensity- your child will learn how to perform their martial arts abilities with strong effort and attitude.
- Speed- your child will learn the components of speed and how to control their balance, body posture, and technique in the process.
- Agility- your child will learn the mechanics that govern movement and how it plays a role when they are jumping, dodging, and moving about quickly.
- Technique- your child will learn the fundamental components of good technique, which will make them great athletes.
- Flexibility- your child will gain and maintain flexibility through fun and educational drills.
Complete education of these 8 skills will help your child be the best they possibly can be at their age of development. They will become at the top of their age group, while they learn and have fun in the process. You and your child will not regret the adventure they are about to undertake.
