Mighty Might's

• The Mighty might’s class setting is one that has structure but works with kids at their current developmental level.
  
• They have fun while they’re learning, which means they are more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.
  
• Understanding discipline, learning about boundaries, both personal and interpersonal, sharing, and self-control are all things they learn to be successful in their world.
  
• The cornerstones of the class are stranger and situational awareness, along with physical activities that build confidence and agility while reinforcing positive values and good character,
  
• Mighty Might’s are taught self-calming strategies such as breathing exercises and verbal skills to communicate without outbursts and meltdowns. 
  

Class Overview:

This class is designed for kids 3 to 7 years old. Children age 3 are required to have a parent or guardian accompany them on the floor as a partner until they are able to integrate into the class on their own. This gives parents the opportunity to help their child be successful on the floor and provides an hour of (Mom or Dad and me) time.

This class also serves as the starting point for children that require a while longer to achieve the maturity level to be in the Regular Karate Classes.

Classes are broken up into short segments of training to allow better attention on the part of the student. Mighty Might’s are taught Defense, sparring, ground defense and Kata form 1, as well as the fundamental basics that are in the classes for older students. Gradually the students advance to a level that allows them to participate confidently in the *regular* kids Karate class and be successful. Students that can demonstrate most or all of the White Belt Fundamentals can be promoted from Mighty Might’s into the regular Karate Class.

Overall coordination increases, mastery of complex physical skills, hand eye coordination, general attention span, social and behavioral skills and attention to details also increase.
