CHILDREN’S PROGRAM
Team Turtle • Ages 6 – 8
Team Dragon • Ages 9 – 13
Our children’s class is divided into two age tiers for specific reasons, however, the common factor in both classes is to help our young children to develop large and small motor skills, balance, agility, and burn energy for healthy growth.
The theory of Kendo may be a bit too complex for our young students to understand, and we do not want to put stress on them. Core ideas of respect, manner, discipline, self-control, and self-awareness will be taught through play and activities derived from Kendo while keeping them absolutely safe.
Our classes for our young students are segmented into short sessions to make sure they are focused and always engaged to enjoy the atmosphere of practicing Kendo so that as they get older, they are able to accept the deeper aspects of Kendo without getting bored.
We help our young friends get ready physically and mentally before stepping into the bigger world of Kendo.
TEENS & ADULT PROGRAM
Ages 14 & Up
Our adult and teen classes are centered around a more in-depth study of Kendo as a martial art to supplement the student’s lifestyle. Physical and mental training through Kendo practice allows our students to learn more detailed and sophisticated swordsmanship through repetition of basics, sparring, fitness training, and competition participation and promotion exam readiness.
Safety is one of our priorities, and our instructors will carefully work with our students to go at a steady pace, so no one is pushed beyond their respective limits. We believe in slow and consistent progression in helping our students reach their goals.
As for our teens, we try to help them get more exposure to tournaments, by choice and help them build a solid record to assist in extra-curriculum points for their college admission, and we have members who can give career advice and tips to help our young adults while practicing martial arts.
The benefits of Kendo are just incredible, and we would love to see more people in our community experience it with us.
