Children's Program (from 4 years of age)
Australian Fitness and Martial Arts (AFMA) Children's Program is designed to guide and educate children with their personal development and physical activity. Our aim is to get children more active, help tackle the growing obesity issue focusing on personal wellness and help children develop good life and social skills. Martial Arts training will help them grow with increased confidence and self esteem and Children will benefit from discipline, fitness and fun as well as expert instruction.
We provide children with a safe training environment in our Dojos (training hall) with qualified instructors. Another key point in the program is confidence and character building. With commitment and application the children are rewarded with recognition and achievements as they progress.
Our Fitness and Martial Arts Program can help a child refocus. There are several aspects within our program that help train the mind and body thus improve concentration, self control, sense of body awareness, memory and focus throughout childhood. An essential skill that can be used across all facets of the child's life, especially with their schooling.
Children enjoy all aspects of our Fitness and Martia Arts Program. It keeps the muscles active and flexible, plus it is a good workout for the mind, especially when it comes to stress relief. Children are being playful and physical while they are doing it and they have fun with it.
Students will learn through a structured curriculum the art of Karate and self-defence program with skills they will take with them through to adulthood. Incorporated in the children program is the long term goal of achieving the rank of a Junior Black Belt with our professional guidance.
