One: A Value Based Curriculum
Values such as: non-violence, respect, honesty, integrity, good sportsmanship, getting good grades in school, and proper behavior have been traditionally and still are the foundation of the martial arts and our classes. Children are taught that if they do their best they will be their best.
Two: A Motivation Based Curriculum
Positive attitudes are developed by our students as they set
their goals to increase their skills and obtain their new belt levels.
Positive reinforcement is given to each student to be all that they
can be.
Three: A Leadership Based Curriculum
Kung Fu 4 Kids students are leaders. All of our students are encouraged to work with each other and share their knowledge and skills with students who need help. This gives each student an awareness of their own self worth and increases their self confidence. This transcends the martial arts school and manifests itself into daily life, enabling each student to be a leader and not a follower.
|
Four: A Fitness Based Curriculum
The martial arts develop physical skills such as eye hand coordination, gross motor skills, improved balance, increased total coordination, and additional self confidence based on their newly learned skills.
Five: A Written Curriculum
Our written curriculum is clearly detailed, enabling both the students and their parents to follow the course of instruction and always know when their next promotion will be.
Six: Convenience
We have classes that will fit into almost any schedule. Our “After School Program” will even pick your children up at school.
Seven: A Family Curriculum
Our wide range of programs enables the whole family to learn the Martial Arts and build a strong family structure.
Eight: A Caring Staff
All of our classes are taught by qualified, caring and enthusiastic teachers.

Dear Parents,
We here at Kung Fu 4 Kids understand how hard it is to raise children
these days. We also know all the worries you have for your kids
– bullying from their peers, pressure to abuse drugs and alcohol,
and adult images in the media and on the Internet.
Children today have to deal with challenges that are overwhelming.
Sadly, it is nearly impossible to shield your children from these
ever-present negative influences. However, there is something you
can do to help them deal with the many challenges they face.
Many parents have already discovered that martial art training is
one of the most beneficial activities in which your child can participate.
A martial arts school is a place where a child can learn self-control,
respect, and get in shape, all in a safe and fun environment.
By enrolling your child in our martial arts classes, you’ll
be helping them learn how to make positive choices. Plus,
you’ll be giving them a safe place where they can develop
the confidence to do what is right.
The Life-Changing Positive Benefits Our Martial Arts Program Provides
Every year, parents like you bring their children to enroll
in our children’s martial arts program. Every year, those
children reap the rewards that our properly instructed martial art
programs provide.
In our martial arts program, your child will improve their confidence, increase their focus, and develop more self-control. We can say this with confidence because we have personally witnessed the positive effects our programs have provided for children just like your own.
Here is a short explanation of how our programs teach these valuable life skills:
- Confidence - By learning how to protect themselves, your children will develop confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges. In turn, their improved confidence will give them the courage to say “no” to negative influences.
- Focus – We will help your child increase their focus
by giving them clear goals and showing them how to reach those
goals through hard work and being consistent. (Of course, they
won’t realize they’re learning focus because our classes
are so much fun! Keep that to yourself – it’ll be our
little secret…)
- Self-control – Kids learn self-control in the martial arts by learning how important it is to have respect, both for themselves and for others. Martial arts training teaches that in order to get respect, you first have to give it. Once your child learns this important lesson, their self-control will naturally increase.
As you can see, our martial arts programs teach so much more than
just "kicks and punches.” We help children develop life-skills
that will take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art
school – benefits that will last them a lifetime.
Positive Role Models Who Will Encourage Your Child to Succeed
Kids need strong role models who set a positive example for
them to follow. Yet, everyone knows that kids can’t look up
to professional athletes anymore – so where can they turn for
positive examples to follow?
Our answer to this question is our professional staff of caring
instructors. We honestly believe our martial art instructors are
some of the best role models your child could have.
Experience has shown us that kids respond to our martial art teachers
in way that no other coach or instructor can match. Since we realize
how much our students look up to us, we work hard to set a positive
example for them by living the martial arts principles of honesty,
integrity, courage, kindness, and self-control.
As you know, children are hard-wired to seek attention and approval.
So, when kids see positive behaviors demonstrated by our instructors,
they are strongly driven to display those same behaviors in their
own actions.
It doesn’t stop there – our martial art classes come
with a "“built-in" reward system that will encourage
your child to act as they should. This "“built-in”
reward system is our belt-rank progression program. Children in
our programs know they are expected to behave at home and at school
in order to progress to their next belt rank.
This “one-two punch” of providing inspiring role models
and giving your child positive feedback works amazingly well to
help children improve their behavior. To date, we know of no other
extracurricular activity that provides kids with such incredible
incentives for displaying good behavior.
And, it works. Just visit our school and ask some of the parents
who have had their children enrolled in our programs.
When you do, you’ll hear story after story of how our programs
have helped their children improve their behavior and achieve greater
success. Parents share these stories with us all the time, and frankly
we’re quite proud to have had a small part in improving each
child’s life.
Proof That Martial Arts Training Helps Build Happier Kids
However, we don’t just want you to take our word for it.
In fact, there’s plenty of solid research that proves martial
arts training promotes better behavior and improved attitudes in
school age children.
Here are just a few of the most recently published studies and articles
describing the benefits of martial arts training for children.
- A 2001 study published in the psychology journal Adolescence showed a vast improvement in good behavior and a noticeable reduction in violent behavior among children who took martial arts classes for just 90 minutes a week.
- Another article published in Adolescence in 1998 described how martial arts programs decrease violent behavior in children and teens.
- A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology showed that children who participated in martial art training had better behavior and higher scores on a mental math test.
- The Magazine for Physical Therapy praised martial art training as a helpful activity for special needs children.
- An article in the December 2002 issue of The International Journal of Contemporary Family Therapy recommended families take martial art classes because of the many positive effects martial arts training provides to family members.
As you can see, the evidence is conclusive - martial art training
works! There is no other activity that has been proven to bring
such a great improvement in the well-being of children. Now, just
imagine what a difference our martial arts program will make in
your own child’s life…
