These are our beginners between the ages of 5 and 8 who are training to build their fundamental motor skills through fun and games in a Martial Arts format.  It is very difficult to obtain proficiency in sport skills unless the prerequisite fundamental skills are present. The fundamental skill phase of development begins in early childhood at about two to three years, and individuals have the potential to be fully proficient in most of them by about seven years. Complete development of the fundamental skills is very much dependent on environmental influences in the form of practice, learning and teaching. We incorporate such activities as jumping, kicking, catching, rolling and spinning to help develop the necessary co-ordination for an active and healthy child.

These are beginners (suitable 7+) or those who have graduated with a White Sash from the Little cranes class. This is where they are introduced to our Junior Kung Fu program proper.  The basic building blocks of the Kung Fu prgram are the focus of this class. These are stances, kicking, punching, blocking, footwork and jumping as well as self defence, stranger danger and how to cope with Bullying .  The development of concentration and courtesy are another important aspect of our Kung Fu training.  Grading from white to blue and blue to yellow is done on a continuous assessment basis with coloured stars awarded as a child shows dedication through practice and becomes proficient in specific areas of the grade.

Flying & Fighting Cranes

Our Kung Fu for Kids will move from the Shouting Cranes class to Flying Cranes classes and then on to the Fighting Cranes class. These classes are run in a more advanced setting challenging our Kung Fu Kids to progress futher through the program.
