Kids Kung Fu

Thursday 6-7pm & Sunday 10-11am

The dedicated kids class is for one hour sundays and thursdays. As instructors we understand the need to work with patience and make the class fun for the children to enjoy and interact with one another, and to encourage them to enjoy learning what we teach. We also would stress that a level of discipline must be kept, this is to ensure that they realise and understand that there is always time for games and fun but there will also be a time for serious learning and they must learn to adapt to both, which we see as a good way of helping them develop as they grow.

We have a controlled environment for teaching children and the instructor is CRB checked, as are all the black belt assistants who help the instructor manage the children. We take into account the age of the child taking part and when the time comes when we feel that the child is becoming too old to stay in the kids class then we would then recommend to the parents to switch to the adults class where they would then be encouraged to learn more difficult things, perhaps some things and techniques which we may not choose to teach to young children for safety reasons.

Parents are also encouraged to attend sessions, perhaps for the first few classes at the beginning. This usually helps the child feel safe and comfortable, and gradually over time the child will hopefully learn to trust the instructor and the parent will be free to leave once they’ve brought their child to class.
