Kung Fu ages 5-7
Wednesdays from 3:00 - 3:45
We’ve developed this class to be developmentally appropriate for kids of this age. The main focus of this class is helping to develop Hand-Eye-Foot coordination. We do this with lots of fun activities that are centered around Kung Fu skills that are taught more deeply at higher levels. The Kids 5-7 year old class is part of our Drop-In program. This means that tuition is on a class by class basis. We would love for your child to be committed to Kung Fu, but we also know that there can be a lot of variability at that age so having the class as a drop-in class allows for that flexibility. The cost is $18/class, or a 10 class pack can be purchased at a discount for $150. The 10 class pack can also be shared with family members for any of our Drop-In classes (classes in Red on our schedule).
Class begins with bowing in and a short mission statement - “I will work hard and do my very best!”. This is the essence of what Kung Fu is, Kung Fu literally means “Hard Work”. You can have good Kung Fu in everything that you do, which we hope to have spill over into every aspect of your child’s life. Students practice stretching, Kung Fu stances, Kung Fu animal hand shapes, exercises with weighted balls, balance exercises, striking a pad, and mindfulness. The style of Kung Fu that this class is built around is Xing Yi Quan, which is the focus of the level 1 class for the older kids. Because of this, when your child is ready to move up to the older class, they will already be ahead of their peers and have a solid foundation in the material that is taught.
Classes are taught by Mr. Justin and Mr. Sevn, who are coached by Shifu Aaron. Mr. Justin and Mr. Sevn are both students at Dragon Phoenix and have children who are enrolled in our kids program. We look forward to having your child join us so that we can help them reach their potential while having lots of fun!
