Basic Skillz: Mini Ninjas Ages 5-6, Pre-K and Kindergarten
Mini Ninjas
Children this age are in a unique growth period in their life. They are refined in their gross motor skills, while establishing a foundation in basic fundamental skills. These basic fundamental skills include: focus, teamwork, control, balance, memory, discipline, fitness, and coordination. In any other sport of activity, all of these 8 skills are important to have. The more exposure to proper development in each of these skills, the better your child will be. For this reason, we have tailored fundamentals training course that increases the intensity of each skill at every level.
In the Basic SKILLZ Program, your child will train in an environment that is just right for them. They will train with other children in their age group, and not have to be limited or overwhelmed by younger and older children. Each class will accommodate every student’s skills and abilities in a way that is not overly demanding or intimidating. That means more age specific instruction with better results. We guarantee it!
We are an officially licensed SKILLZ school!

By creating age specific level classes. and using scientific facts to give them EXACTLY what they need at each level, our students become more engaged and our program becomes more fun and more powerful for their development physically, socially, and emotionally.
How do we teach your Mini Ninjas?
This program was designed to target age-specific skills for children between the ages of 5 and 6-years old. This program was designed to introduce skills training to the early elementary age group, which has basic physical, intellectual, social, and emotional abilities. With that said, more emphasis is placed on building basic fundamental skills training with a strategic balance of Martial Arts.
The goal for this program is to establish basic skills that are significant in a typical child between the ages of 5 and 6-years old. All students that complete or age out of this program are considered knowledgeable in the skills provided and therefore qualify to move onto a more advanced program.
