Little Ninjas Program

Laying a strong foundation for our youth has been our mission for the last 14 years.  At Full Circle, we're on a mission to reach out to as many preschoolers in our community as possible.  Therefore, our Little Ninjas Program is specially designed for 4½ to 6 year-olds. 

Focusing on 8 major skill areas  -- focus, team work, control, balance, memory, discipline, fitness, and coordination -- our youth learn not only the art of Kung Fu, but they improve their gross motor skills, increase their confidence, improve their self-control, and also boost their self-esteem.    Even with our primary students, developing the "inner" person is important as they grow into the martial arts.

In each class, we cover one of the above-mentioned skills with a wide variety of activities that are fun, educational, and help get your child physically fit.  The following are some activities that we cover in our Little Ninjas classes:

• Ninja Speed Test - The students move about like Ninjas until the command "attention" is given in which they must move to attention quickly.  This drill emphasizes focus, control, and balance.

• Focused Ninja Blackbelt  - With this drill, the Ninjas must come to attention as soon as the instructor gives the command.  The Ninja that doesn't move and stays focus is the winner!  This drill emphasizes focus and control.
  

• Ninja Clean-up -  With our target and focus pads thrown about the training floor, we split our Ninjas into two teams.  The team that picks up the pads the fastest and puts them in the proper order and location wins -- this drill teaches teamwork.

• Ninja Personal Development - Developing the "inner" Ninjas is critical to a child's success.  So each class, we focus on a personal development skill such as conflict resolution, staying away from strangers, maintaining a positive attidude, etc.

As you can see, we make learning fun and educational!   Martial Arts is much more than kicking and punching -- it's being the best that you can be in everything you do, just like a Blackbelt. Our Little Ninjas motto is "Little Ninjas today, Strong Leaders tomorrow."

Call to schedule an introductory class and watch your child glow with excitement! At Full Circle, we teach more than martial arts - we teach life skills!

Testimonials

“Our daughter, Jessica Gregory, is 3 ½ years old. She has Spina Bifida, which is a birth defect that effects the spinal cord and nervous system. Due to her disability Jessica has issues with balance and focus. We decided to enroll Jessica in the Full Circle Martial Arts Little Ninja Program to assist her in improving these skills. We informed the instructors of Jessica’s condition and there was no hesitation to allow her to participate in the program. They were not intimidated by Jessica’s disability.

Jessica receives special education, physical therapy, and occupational therapy from Winship Wheatley Special Needs School. Her teachers and therapists have told us that there has been a noticeable improvement in Jessica’s focus and motor skills since she has been in the Little Ninja Program.

We are thankful for a program that does not shy away from working with a child with a disability, but instead pushes that child to perform to the best of their ability we would recommend this program to anyone that has young children.

Thank you Full Circle for your hard work and dedication to our youth”

- William & Sheila Gregory
