Core Skillz: Kids Ages 7-9,
1st through 3rd Grade
Core Kids
This program was specifically designed to target the stages of development of 7 to 9-year olds. The curriculum in the Core SKILLZ Program includes years of research and development proven effective for this age group. Our goal for the Core SKILLZ Program is to maximize the effectiveness of each participants training with valuable lessons that will enhance their life.
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 core skill development. These core skills include: agility, technique, courage, flexibility, intensity, perseverance, speed, and concentration. 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 a training course that increases the intensity of each skill at every level.
We are an officially licensed SKILLZ school!

At different ages, kids have different motor skills and levels of intelligence. 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 Core Kids?
This program was designed to target age-specific skills for children between the ages of 7 to 9. The curriculum introduces training to children that are mature enough to learn Martial Arts but still need extra attention to their core fundamentals. With that said, more emphasis is placed on building the core fundamental skills with a strategic balance of Martial Arts.
The goal for this program is to establish core skills that are significant in a typical child between the ages of 7 to 9. All students that graduate this program are considered knowledgeable in the skills featured and therefore qualify to move onto a more advanced program. Proper execution of this program can build great young Martial Artists with better retention than most traditional Martial Arts curriculums due to its comprehensive approach in age-specific training.
