OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAM 

 

 

We have a unique children's program for kids from age 4 to 15. We teach children how to approach self-defense from two perspectives. The first is how they handle other kids in school who might try to bully them or start fights. We want them to learn how to diffuse and de-escalate the situation so it does not have to turn into a physical altercation. It is important for them to learn how to cope with the peer pressure that is so prevalent in schools today. Children need to learn to say "no" to drugs, gangs and other unsavory activities. The key to being able to do this is through building their self-confidence. When children have self-confidence it becomes easier to have confidence in all the other challenges and obstacles that present themselves along their way through life.

The second approach is how to deal with adults who might try to kidnap or abuse them in a variety of direct or indirect ways. It is not possible in most situations for children to stand toe-to-toe against an adult. It is therefore imperative that they learn how to "distract and escape" their would be kidnapper or attacker.

Through Kung-Fu San Soo they will be exposed to many techniques and ideas that will show them how this may be accomplished.

All our childrens' classes emphasize the importance of setting goals and respect for family, teachers and friends. We do not allow our children to advance in belt ranking if they do not have passing grades in school.
