Age Specific Classes
Why age-specific classes?
The stages of your child's development can be defined as the grade levels in which children scientifically grow. These stages or grades are very distinct. Within each grade level, there are different levels of abilities, but how the students develops throughout their training is more important than what each student knows or is physically capable of.
To put it another way, in elementary school, they do not put children in class together according to their grade average, but by their grade level. There is no such thing as a “C“ class for all of the students who have a grade average” of a “C”, or a “B” class for all students who are B students and so on.
Children have specific characteristics that are consistent with each other children in their grad levels or their stage of development. Physically, mentally, socially, and intellectually, each stage varies in capabilities from the other.
We know the best method of maximizing your child's learning is to put them in age appropriate - stage of development and we have done it!
We have pioneered Age Specific Classes in marital arts. Most marital arts schools lump all children into the same class (5-14 year olds). We don’t believe that this is the most efficient way for your child to learn.
It is proven, that the 5 year will not be able to keep up in class – the pace of learning will be to fast for them. The 14 year old will get bored, because they want to learn much quicker and much more material.
Most schools do not have enough children to break out classes nor do they know the different stages of learning and what age appropriate training means. 5 & 6 year old learns much differently than a 7 & 8 year old and so on.
Our age specific classes are similar to the school system. We offer 5 different age specific classes:
- 5 & 6 year old classes
- 7 & 8 year old classes
- 9-12 year old classes
- 13-16 year old classes
- 17+ adult clasees
all areas to develop successful and confident kids. Which include physical, emotional, social, and intellectual (“PIES”) developmental needs. Classes are designed to be age appropriate for their stage of development.
