Kids Kung Fu Classes
In today’s world of chaos and bullies it’s becoming more important than ever that children and teens have the skills to defend themselves if necessary. The body is a very powerful weapon when used correctly and responsibly.
In our classroom, your child will develop skills like respect, focus, coordination, discipline, concentration, and confidence, all while learning self-defense in a positive, fun, and secure environment.
We emphasize building strong family connections while teaching a genuine martial art that is both practical and enjoyable. Our system features traditional Shaolin animal techniques, including monkey, dragon, and stork styles, each integrating full-body movements such as footwork, strikes, kicks, and takedowns. We also preserve ancient temple forms passed down through thousands of years.
Skills and values taught:
- Practical self-defense - We teach Kung Fu techniques that empower you to protect yourself confidently by responding calmly and decisively in real-world situations.
- Teamwork - Kung Fu training is not just about individual achievement—it’s about community. Through partner drills and group exercises, students develop cooperation, respect, and communication skills that build strong connections both inside and outside the dojo.
- Body awareness - Developing a deep understanding of your body’s movements promotes better coordination and prevents injuries. You’ll learn to move efficiently with precision and grace.
- Coordination - Our dynamic training drills enhance hand-eye coordination and motor skills, supporting athleticism and daily functional movements.
Our Kids Kung Fu CLASSES
At Mindful Kung Fu we focus on the three aspects of training. We strengthen the body, quiet the mind, and lead from the spirit.
Peewee class
You’re never too young to start doing martial arts! This is why we offer our Kung fu peewee class for children ages 3 to 6 years old. We center our training on building confidence, perseverance, and creativity. And of course, we leave a lot of room for having fun as well! We also teach animal techniques, kicks, takedowns, and run drills with them that will help build coordination and focus!
junior Class
Self-defense is a wonderful skill to have when you’re a child! This is why we offer our junior class for children ages 7 to 12 years old. We focus on real life applications and building mind body control. Our animal techniques are full body oriented, versatile and can be used in any self-defense situation. We also teach Hapkido… which is the art of takedowns, binds and escapes. We put all of this together with drills, phase fighting, obstacle courses, games, and much more!
Teens Class
For the kids that are too old to join the Junior class but a tad too young to join the Adults, we offer the Teens Kung Fu class. This class is catered for ages 13-15 years old. It is centered around developing body awareness, confidence, and self-discipline. They will learn self-defense skills, including animal techniques, wraps, binds and takedowns that can be used in any real-life situation. We also teach traditional Shaolin patterns for structure, balance and coordination
