Lil' Kickers was originally started in 2018 when Master Waterman's daughter was two years old. The program was created around the mental and physical skills this age group is working on, and adding in over 30 years of martial arts experience to make it a Taekwondo class designed for ages 2-5. We understand every child is different, and every child grows and learns at different rates. We included five year olds in this age group because some children simply aren't ready for a full, structured hour long martial arts class yet.
In this class kid will learn basic social skills including but not limited to following directions, waiting their turn, supporting their peers, listening before speaking, and more. They will learn martial arts skills of discipline, respect, self-control, perseverance, and indomitable spirit. They will be challenged physically working on balance, coordination, doing multiple things at once, and getting comfortable in their own skin. There is a lot of physical and mental growth during these years, and this class is designed around helping children learn and grow in a safe, controlled environment that is also challenging and completely encompasses martial arts.
The uniform for this class is Taekwondo pants, a t-shirt and a white belt. Student will earn colored striped on their belts as they learn different aspects of Taekwondo. They will have the ability to graduate from the Lil' Kickers program and go into our regular Taekwondo program, even if they are not five years old yet. This is based on on each individual student and will be assessed as they progress. Lil' Kickers runs on a six class session, and is paid per session.
