Kicks Karate Programs
Kicks Karate has become known as the family martial arts school. We offer a wide variety of programs designed around the needs of each specific age group. It's not so much a difference in the exact techniques that we teach in each program, it's more in "how" we teach the techniques that make a difference. For example, let's say we were teaching a simple kick. If we were working with a group of four year olds, we might demonstrate the kick and show the kids how to do it. Then we would have them try the kick on several different types of kicking targets, make it into a fun drill or game and try to disguise the repetitions as much as possible. This keeps the learning fresh, new and exciting for the kids... and avoids boredom!
On the other hand, if we
were teaching the same kick to an adult, they
aren't necessarily interested in games,
they want knowledge. We would talk about
the importance of accuracy and proper foot
position. We may mention how to strike
certain targets or vital points, etc. We
would discuss how it could be used in a
defensive movement. Then we would work on
perfecting the kick. It's the same kick
being taught to both groups, it's just
taught differently. That's why we divide
our classes by age and skill
level.
