Our 3–6-year-old classes are a fun introduction to martial arts and are 45 minutes long. First Step classes will provide a full-body workout and many additional physical and mental benefits, such as improved confidence and self-esteem. Students will have the opportunity to progress through our t-shirt system when an instructor deems them eligible to take their next level. Around the 6-year-old mark we can help students with the next steps by transitioning to the older age group classes. First Steps aim to inspire children and produce healthy, confident individuals who can work well in a group and develop strong mental focus. First Step classes teach children the basic martial arts movements, breakfalls and various partner drills.
