At Shin Gan Dojo, our Kids Program isn’t about trophies; it’s about transformation. We use the traditional structure of Ninpo Taijutsu to teach children how to navigate the world with confidence and composure. By focusing on “Traditional Roots,” we instill a deep sense of respect and focus. By emphasizing “Modern Readiness,” we provide students with the physical coordination and situational awareness needed to recognize and avoid conflict. Our step-by-step curriculum ensures that every child masters the fundamentals of movement, balance, and self-protection in a way that is age-appropriate yet immediately practical.
Our Approach: Safe, Effective, and Engaging
We believe in a hands-on, partner-based training approach that facilitates learning actual body mechanics and how techniques truly work.
- Direct Partner Training: Kids work directly with fellow students to learn punching, kicking, and blocking attacks in a supervised and controlled manner.
- Real-World Recovery: Students will learn how to roll and fall, skills that enable them to recover gracefully from throws and take-downs.
- Mastering Control: They will learn to set up and execute throws and take-downs, gaining skill to retain their own balance (or center) while taking the attacker’s balance.
- Practical Application: Kids will learn basic joint locks and begin learning some pressure points, alongside essential Japanese etiquette and terminology.
