How we teach Kids (5-13yrs)?
'AWESOME Class Sensei'
A fun filled but discplinned atmosphere in which your child progresses through the ranks of The DOJO.net Syllabus which includes learning all 6 disciplines according to each rank for the Price of 1 Class.
We instill into our kids that to grow harmoniously we have to give and show Courtesy at all times. We teach that they should respect authority in the home, at school and for the law!
But our kids also know that Learning Martial Arts is much more than just a Physical pass-time and that they are designed for Long-term and prolonged gratification - not a quick fix to your problems.
The age range of normal kids classes is 5-13yrs. Our unique tuition method and the highly developed syllabus ensure the Kids in our classes train in 2 SPECIFIC ways:
- Specific to the Age of the child
- Specific to the Ability of the Child
Our tuition methodology is geard around:

- Get kids to follow our movements, then,

- They are guided to think of alternative ways of performance to bring out their creative side
- They develop more confidence by performing infront of others
- More competent performers are given a chance to lead a group to further develop their Confidence
- Outstanding individuals are given further recognition through our Student of the Month Award
The training area at The DOJO is fully matted from wall to wall and all the learning aids are provided for use FREE of Charge.
Oh Yeah!!! We have lots of FUN playing Games also. In fact we have dedicated a whole lesson (once a month) purely to let our Kids play Games and lead groups to build their Social Interaction Skills!
COMPETITION - We greatly believe that we ought to prepare our kids to take on the world tomorrow. One way in which we do this is by introducing them to Competition. This could take many forms through which they learn to cope with failure and success, but more importantly, it cultivates and hones a more PROBLEM SOLVING ATTITUDE in them. In fact our approach to instilling a competitive spirit has proven to so successfull that we have produced National and International Champions. Some have even become World Champs. The key to their success was they followed our instruction through the self-motivated attitude we instilled in them. Taking part in formal competition is not compulsory!
