Why we created
Kung Fu Kindy...
A place for your child to shine...
Kung Fu Kindy has been designed specifically to introduce young children to martial arts.
When you join a martial arts program for children they are often not yet ready for the highly structured and often dogmatic old school methodologies taught in many martial arts schools.
This can often scare them away from martial arts, which we believe is an essential tool to raise every child.
Kung Fu Kindy is the perfect entry point where we introduce your child to martial arts and play simultaneously, seamlessly establishing a ground base for principles such as discipline, self defence and respect, importantly, at a level they are comfortable with allowing them to enjoy the process.
4 Cornerstones of Kung Fu Kindy...
If you believe like we do that every child deserves to start out life with the confidence to succeed, then martial arts from a young age is an essential requirement of their upbringing.
​
At Kung Fu Kindy we achieve this through the below four pillars of our program that set them up for success from day one!
Early Patterns of Success
From their first day in Kung Fu Kindy, they will begin to have what we call 'little wins'.
By generating a pattern of success in class, they learn that their actions can succeed and this pattern continues out of the school.
Success isn't one large action done once, it is a pattern of consistency over their whole life. And Kung Fu Kindy establishes that pattern of success!
Social and Emotional Development
The social skills learnt on the matts are an essential building block of children's confidence.
To have healthy relationships with their peers here sets them up for the boundaries later in life to be able to identify what a good peer relationship looks like.
In other words, they will learn to build healthy peer groups and avoid the negative influences at school.
Speech and Language
We have seen many children enter into martial arts at older age groups (6-7 yrs) unable to complete a lot of the basic body to speech links that are necessary to maintain positive control of their movement and safety.
Kung Fu Kindy teaches them important skills like 'left and right sides', forward and back, stop commands and communication with bullies and possible threats (stranger danger commands and help seeking).
Physical Development
It's important for your children from a young age to be able to start to develop their body mind connections.
A lot of children start to struggle with group activity at the age of 3-4 as they begin to need higher level skills than they are able to learn at school or home.
At Kung fu Kindy, we teach them all the martial arts basics as well as important physical skills like jumping on two feet, safe rolling, throwing and many others, ensuring your kids aren't left behind physically as they enter school!
