Common Questions

 

Q: What age do you think children should start martial arts?

A: When a child has the ability to follow directions and has a basic understanding of discipline. This may be relative to the child. However we typically accept children as young as 4 years old.

 

Q: What do you teach at this young of an age?

A: We will cover basic punches, kicks, drills, and exercises.  We also have discussions on general information for staying safe along with simple self-defense techniques.

 

Q: How long will my child stay in this class before they may progress to the next?

A: All children learn at different levels. The child must have a good foundation in the basics before they are able to progress to the next class. Because of the uniqueness of the individual there is no one thing that we are looking for. The child should have a balance of listening and taking directional skills, able to perform material by themselves, and most of all a healthy attitude toward others.

 

Q: What if my child wants to go into the next level and they are not ready?

A: No pressure should ever be given to the child about going to the next level. This class is designed to be fun and exciting to the them. If parents or teachers give excessive amounts pressure for a child to do something they are not ready for, the child will resent it. We always strive for everyone to do their best. That idea is the foundation of Shaolin. However we want people of all ages to progress at their own pace and not to compare themselves with others.
