KIDS KARATE

Children and teenagers are often more vulnerable to physical attacks. Hence, picking up a practical, high level self-defence skill is important for any situation that they may stumble across in their everyday life. The Krav Maga Kids Eastern Hills training will teach them realistic self-defence techniques that are effective not only against bullies, but any adult assailant as well.

CURRICULUM

The curriculum includes solutions to conflicts or violent situations that are most typical for each age group. Common situations they will learn to deal with include slaps, punches, kicks, shirt grabbing, neck grabbing, choking, and being thrown to the ground. We teach all students: stand up fighting (Boxing and kick boxing techniques) as well as ground fighting (BJJ/MMA) skills. Children and youth are taught to recognize possible danger situations, the best way to avoid them, and protect themselves against any physical attack. This is also important in the case where they might be attacked by adults in criminal assaults or sexual abuse.

Children and teenagers will be taught the most effective way of defending against a much stronger adult, escaping, and also to report the incident to an authority figure. Children also learn important skills such as break-falling and rolling that will help them to fall safely. Apart from danger situations, this can come in useful when they are playing, whether it is running, skating or cycling.
