Children this age are entering the “magical years” in their growth and development. They will for the first time experience rapid growth and development in the early stages of many skills. Martial Arts will help them kick-start their growth and development in a positive and constructive atmosphere.
Here are the early skills that children will develop through their Martial Arts training:
1. Kicking
2. Punching
3. Stepping
4. Crawling
5. Hopping
6. Rolling
7. Running
8. Catching
Top five PHYSICAL development milestones through these skills:
1. Early development of basic muscles: legs, arms, abs, and cardiovascular endurance.
2. Early development of alternating feet and hands.
3. Early of development of spatial awareness (where their body exists in space).
4. Early development of distance (how far or close things really are).
5. Early development of movement in various directions.
Top five INTELLECTUAL development milestones through these skills:
1. Early development of following directions.
2. Early development of counting their physical movement.
3. Early development of paying attention in “chaotic” environments.
4. Early development of retaining information such as new words, commands, and definitions.
5. Early development of understanding consequences.
Top five EMOTIONAL development milestones through these skills:
1. Early development of building a “can do” attitude.
2. Early development of controlling their emotions when they are challenged.
3. Early development of embracing excitement in healthy competition.
4. Early development of facing fears such as trying new things and meeting new people.
5. Early development of feeling a sense of independence.
Top five SOCIAL development milestones through these skills:
1. Early development of taking turns.
2. Early development of communicating with other peers and adults.
3. Early development of “fair play.”
4. Early development of sharing attention.
5. Early development of enjoying activities with other people.
For example:
Skill: Kicking
Drill: Kicking the target while walking down the mat and counting each kick.
Benefits: In this drill the students will practice the early stages of kicking while walking, counting and striking a target. Many children within this age group have a hard time kicking while walking, alternating legs, counting, and striking a target. They have a tendency of favoring their dominate leg. At the same time, when they focus on kicking and walking, they lose technique. To make it even more challenging, they usually don’t have the intellectual capacity to also focus on counting and striking a target. This drill they will put all of the components together for kicking while walking, counting, and hitting the target with proper technique.
