Youth Basic Training
In today's society it is becoming more apparent that our youth learn important self-defense skills, physical fitness habits, and confidence. Our kids’ Martial Arts program also focuses on the development of the mind, including self-control, focus, and discipline. Our young Martial Artists develop a higher level of personal awareness and self-confidence that will serve him or her well in dealing with the pressures of life. It is our goal to help all of our students become more focused, confident, and disciplined.
Our children’s programs are a fun, safe way to experience what martial arts has to offer . We work very closely with the parents on developing good character in the kids. Some of the focal systems we use are but not limited to: Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Karate Boxing and more, as well as much more than just kicking and punching. Through lessons in the classroom and the coaching of the instructors, the children learn the life skills that parents love to see.
It is a common misconception that children tend to become more aggressive or violent after learning karate or another MMA. On the contrary, conflict resolution training is an important part of any Martial Arts class for kids. Children are taught to practice patience and courtesy as well as the ethical responsibilities while in a conflict situation. Peaceful conflict resolution for kids is always the first option and the skills learned in our classes are only to be used for self-defense.
The Wolf Band teach our students how to become more courteous, respectful, diligent, patient, honest, and eager to work as part of a team. We believe that these interpersonal skills are vital to success, not just in the Martial Arts, but in all areas of life. Students learn through physical movement, life lessons and repetition, the skills of self-discipline, self-confidence, positive thinking, good listening and respect. We teach these benefits, then through practical application these positive traits become habit and part of their character inside and outside of the school.
We welcome kids between the ages of 3-15 in our youth program. Every class has multiple instructors and we group the students based on age and skill level. Young adults aged 15+ are welcome in our general TSP training classes.
We strive to provide Martial Arts training for kids that encourage personal growth and development within each of our students, emphasizing both physical and mental conditioning. Our supportive and varied curriculum inspires students to see beyond their current potential and to reach new levels of personal success. Students in our kids’ Martial Arts program benefit from their training by learning the skills of setting goals and working to achieve them. This builds character, improves confidence, and boosts self-esteem. We instill in our students the traditional Martial Arts values of respect, self-discipline, honor, integrity, family, and courage, all while promoting leadership skills and social accountability.
Character Building – We’ll help positively influence the child’s core character by teaching character development, goal setting, how to encourage others, accountability, and the importance of a positive attitude. Students will learn how to listen and lead in a respectable and respectful way.
Anti-Bullying – With so many schools affected by bullying, we want to help educate your children on the subject. We take an alternative perspective by showing children how to communicate with bullies in a non-violent way, while informing them on the negative effects of being a bully. We work together to understand the consequences of bullying and how to stand up against a bully without violence.
Health & Fitness – Our kids’ Martial Arts programs offer a unique fitness challenge to children. We teach them core strength, flexibility, and balance, aspects that provide long-lasting health benefits and instills healthy habits from a young age.

Tiny Tots (3 & 4 years old)
3 to 4 year olds love physical activity and anything involving play. They have a rich imagination and strong desire to be less dependent on their usual caregivers. With that said, a structured program introducing early skill-based training in Martial Arts can prove to be very successful.
The problem is many children this age have a hard time with structure in a group environment like what is commonly found in most Martial Arts schools. With Five Rings Jiu Jitu's Skillz program, the solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that keeps them entertained while at the same time building skills that set them up for the next age group.

Cub Basic (5 & 6 year old students)
5 and 6 year old students are the most enthusiastic students. They love creativity and problem solving, which makes them ideal students in the Martial Arts. The problem we discovered is they are so progressive in following tasks, some teachers tend to treat them like their older peers. This is a problem because they still do not have the basic skills necessary to keep up with children ages 7 and up.
We have found that providing them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that adapts to their social and intellectual curiosity while at the same time building skills that set them up for success. With that said a structured program introducing basic skill-based training in Martial Arts has proven to be very successful.

Cub Core (7 to 9 year old students)
The Wolf Bands Cub Core focuses on teaching the necessary skills program for 7 to 9 year old students and is what most people consider “the golden age” when it comes to teaching the young ones because they are most absorbant to retaining as well as impressionable. They are proficient in their vocabulary and problem-solving skills, yet they are not at the age where they want complete independence from adults. This makes the teacher-student relationship stronger than ever. The problem we discovered is they still lack core skills, and although they are highly intelligent, they struggle to keep up with students ages 10 and up.
Our solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that adapts to their adventurous attitude and youthful nature while at the same time building skills that set them up for success. With that said a structured program introducing core skill-based training in Martial Arts has proven to be very successful.

Cub Warriors (10 to 12 year old students)
The Cub Warriors is our Extreme Skillz in the Wolf Band and are the most educated youth students in the school. They are physically competent and can excel in most physical challenges that are presented to them. The problem we discovered is they are so focused on what is socially acceptable that they have a hard time keeping themselves emotionally driven to the task at hand.
Our Wolf Band provides the cub warriors with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that nurtures their social and emotional instability while at the same time building skills that set them up for success. With that said a structured program introducing extreme skill-based training in Martial Arts has proven to be very successful.
