🥋 WARMING UP… WITHOUT EVEN REALISING IT! ❤️

Our Little Ninjas love a fun warm-up game before we get stuck into our kickboxing! 🙌

For young children, exercise doesn’t need to feel like exercise. When they’re running, jumping, dodging, crawling and laughing, they’re moving their bodies, raising their heart rate and getting warmed up, but to them, they’re simply playing and having fun! 🤩

That’s why we use lots of games and fun exercises in our Little Ninjas classes. They’re developing coordination, balance, agility, listening skills and body awareness while getting themselves ready for their kickboxing training.

They don’t need to think, “I’m exercising.”

They just know…

I’m moving. I’m playing. I’m having FUN! ❤️🥋

And that’s exactly how we want our Little Ninjas to feel about being active. 👏

🥋❤️ LOOK AT THAT FOCUS! ❤️🥋

Our Little Ninjas sat giving their coach their FULL attention, and we love to see it! 👏

At this age, martial arts is about so much more than learning kicks and punches. We’re helping our Little Ninjas develop important life skills they can take into school, home and everything they do.

👂 Listening when someone is speaking
🎯 Staying focused on instructions
🙋 Learning to wait their turn
🧠 Remembering what they’ve been asked to do
🥋 Showing respect and self discipline

These skills don’t develop overnight. We practise them every single time they step onto the mats.

Sometimes the biggest wins in a Little Ninjas class aren’t the techniques they learn, but seeing them sit, listen, concentrate and give their coach their full attention. ❤️

Great work, Little Ninjas! 👏🥋
