Kung Fu Kidz Zone Prep (7-10)
This course was designed specially for children ages 7 - 10-years
old. We realize that children this age have specific characteristics
that differ from children younger and older. They are sharper and
more focused than children 6 and under, however, they are still not
quite ready to face the same challenges as children 11 to 13-years
of age. Although some children between the ages of 7 - 10 can keep
up with older children, and in some cases, surpass them, the average
7 - 10-year old benefits from a more specific type of training that
will help them develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and
socially.
The stages of development for children 7-10-years old have been studied.
Research targeted eight advanced skills that children of this age
group are in the process of developing. Those skills are:
Agility
Intensity
Concentration
Perseverance
Courage
Speed
Flexibility
Technique
In the Prep Course program, students learn and grow in a process
that accommodates their skills and abilities. They will train with
other children in their age group, and not have to be distracted by
younger or older classmates. This means that their training will not
be slowed to accommodate the learning abilities of a younger child;
nor will it have to be made prematurely more difficult to accommodate
pre-teens. This means better, more functional classes designed just
for them. With increased developmental abilities, students in this
class are able to learn and retain the basics of Shaolin Kung Fu at
a more advanced level.
