Kung Fu for Kids
Two classes available. Class designed for children ages 5-8 and 9-11. See schedule for times/days. These classes take place w/ an adult/parent present, class size limited to 5 children per class. Children will learn basic kung fu moves to increase coordination, mobility, eye/hand coordination, balance, sequencing (learining the form of what comes first, second, etc) and patience. Confidence comes from achieving not just showing up. Students will gain confidence by learning some challenging kung fu. The hope being if they can be challenged to learn in the kung fu school other learning environments will be easy. Class should be fun for the kids, they gain discipline through practice and from thier home.
My two children and my eight years of experience of teaching children has helped develop the program to what it is today. I am periodically refining and improving the program. Recently (Nov 08) I trained with my teacher in Houston, Tx to develop a kids program for our federation. The hope is to develop the kids interest and respect of Chinese Kung Fu that can carry on throughout their lifetime. These our special times coming up for our Kung Fu Federation because we are promoting this closely guarded kung fu to the public. I keep my class size small because my focus is on teaching. Please give me a call or email if you have any questions. Everyone is always welcome to watch a class to see if this kung fu is for them. See schedule on other page
