Team Next Generation are girls and boys who range in age from 7 to 13. They run the spectrum in size, age, and maturity, but all have the desire to participate in an organized athletic program with a variety of activities and goals. Why Karate for Kids? In addition to the enjoyment derived from participating in Top Mount Martial Arts' program, Next Generation provides a list of underlying benefits and achievements for every single member. Self-Defense Karate teaches children to think instead of panic when compromised. It trains them how to react in a way that will help them instead of put them into further danger or trouble. Top Mount Martial Arts emphasizes the appropriateness of using what is learned in their lessons, and when and where it should be practiced. Self-Confidence Children in the Next Generation Karate program are constantly achieving their goals. As each new goal is accomplished, confidence increases. Each child progresses at their own pace. Each child’s accomplishments are celebrated in a way that promotes motivation to achieve more, and recognition of process as part of the achievement. Better Grades / Better Students Being a member of Next Generation also means being a better student. Developing personal & social skills is a major part of the program. We stress following directions, working as a part of the team, paying attention in class, respecting those teaching, and becoming an active participant. These are skills they will use for the rest of their life. Every Child Wins Every child at Top Mount Martial Arts is a winner. We use a positive reinforcement to help them achieve their goals during their training. Coordination Karate challenges the entire body. It develops coordination, body awareness, balance, agility and poise. Fun Classes at Top Mount Martial Arts are fun, dynamic and challenging. It is a unique approach to the martial arts for children who are there to learn and have fun. A balance in the curriculum is key to the program. Classes are a mix of high energy, serious traditional Karate, music, and games. |
