Focus, Self-Defense, Healthy Fitness, and FUN!
Teaching your child tools for success in life
Your child will receive self defense training to build skills that are appropriate for 4-6 year olds with Little Ninjas and 7 and older with Krav Kids. This means that your child will learn and grow at a pace that is not too easy or too challenging. Using age specific training, your child will be learning from our lessons with the stage of development that is both physically and mentally appropriate to their age and give them exactly what they need at each level.
Setting your child up for lifelong success
You will have your children equiped with skills that they will utilize in every area of their life. As a bonus, you will be offered a character development program that focuses on a word of the month such as discipline, balance, coordination, fitness, control, memory, teamwork and focus. Our youth students will work on this word with mat chats and a simple assignment that reinforces the word we are highlighting for the month.
Our program helps develop focus, discipline and confidence in children and has proven to be very successful at building physical, social and emotional skills, setting the next generation up for lifelong success.
To a Caring Parent:
There are countless benefits kids get with martial arts. Here at CT Krav Maga & MMA, our experience has been that children have transformed their lives with our youth classes. Not only are they learning discipline, but they are learning determination, focus, self-respect, and so much more. They are learning how to complete tasks when asked the first time. They lose weight and gain strength. They learn healthy habits and communication skills. But most importantly, they are having FUN while doing it!

Little Ninjas
4-6 Years Old
If you are like most parents, you have probably had to repeatedly ask your child to complete a task, such as putting away toys or getting dressed, and have wondered if your child has a hard time listening. We have been there too with our own kids and we can help!
We provide a program that is based on edutainment – education through entertainment. It is scientifically proven that children learn best through play. However they do not realize that woven into that play are the building blocks we are establishing that set them up for success. By appealing to their social and intellectual curiosity, our youth students have a fun time learning new skills that are the foundation to our Krav Kids program.
Little Ninjas are taught age appropriate curriculum to them so that they can learn at a pace that is line with their stage of childhood development.
We teach based on the children having a fun education in class, because studies have shown this is the most effective way for children to learn at this age.Our youngest martial artists are instructed in 4 core areas:
- INTELLECTUALLY: how to focus during verbal instruction and and how to follow more than 2 instructions at once.
- EMOTIONALLY: how to persevere through a new task if a little nervous or very excited.
- SOCIALLY: how to show restraint if others are acting silly and how to show respect for personal space.
- PHYSICALLY: how to build strength in their body such as kicking without falling down or sitting still without wiggling.

Krav Kids
7+ Years Old
Krav Kids is a structured program that builds our youth students who are 7 and older in core skills based on Krav Maga. We focus on self defense and safety in each class. Our Krav Kids program is a kid friendly Krav Maga program, with Krav Maga being one of the best self defense systems in the world.
We nurture our Krav Kids students both socially and emotionally in a friendly family atmosphere. We instill skills in our youth students that build them physically and mentally for success.
The skills learned in our Krav Kids program focus on striking to start with punches and kicks. As children advance, they are introduced to grappling with elements from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Our goal is to provide well rounded skills in which a child can defend him/herself from a standing or on the ground position. Physical exercise and conditioning are also part of the program in order to add to your child’s ability to defend themselves successfully.
Our youth martial artists who are 7 and older are taught:
- COURAGE – this skill helps students develop the confidence to defend themselves as well as the ability to lead others.
- FLEXIBILITY – this skill helps students develop a better range of motion in their legs, core, and upper body.
- INTENSITY – this skill helps students increase their focus and power.
- PERSEVERANCE – this skill helps students improve their ability to not give up physically, intellectually, emotionally, or socially while under pressure.
- SPEED – this skill helps students improve their technical, explosive, and reactive speed abilities.
- CONCENTRATION – this skill helps students improve their ability to remain focused despite challenges or distractions.
- AGILITY – this skill helps students improve their footwork, kicking skills, and body control.
- TECHNIQUE – this skill helps students develop fine motor skills in their feet and hands.

Clear Focus
In martial arts, we have kids do one thing at a time. For younger kids, and kids with severe ADD, they may only do one thing for 30 seconds – but for that 30 seconds that’s all they focus on. The better and better they get at focusing, the longer we have them focus for. Eventually, kids might focus the entire session on just one exercise or activity. Before you know it, they do this at home too. They focus on their homework, on their chores, on conversations with you, and anything else they put their mind to.
-
Determined to Succeed
From Day 1 in martial arts your child sets goals, and accomplishes them. The more and more he does this – the more ambitious he becomes. Eventually he learns to set higher goals – and he learns to go after them with everything he’s got. He learns that fulfillment and respect are earned through completing challenges. Kids who go through martial arts are much more likely to succeed later in life as well. A recent study showed that 63% of black belts become college graduates! They then go on to live wonderful, fulfilling lives. And then they pass these principles onto their own children.
-
Finally Paying Attention
Parents of children with attention problems breathe sighs of relief after just a few short weeks. That’s because in martial arts, we teach kids to look people in the eyes when they’re being spoken to. We teach them that this is how you show people you’re listening, and paying attention. After just a few short weeks, kids naturally begin doing this at home – and in school. Parents and teachers often look at each other with wide-eyes when they reflect on the changes. They can’t believe how much better their children pay attention.
-
Completing Tasks the First Time
In martial arts, we have just a few simple rules. One of those rules is that when your child is asked to do something – he does it the first time. We never yell at kids, or scold them, if they don’t do this. But every kid does it because he sees the other kids in the class doing it too. And he wants to make friends and be a part of the group. It’s usually just a couple weeks before kids start doing this at home, too. I can’t tell you how many parents have thanked me profusely when it starts to happen. For parents of children who have a hard time following directions – this is truly a blessing.
-
Self-Respect
When it comes to bullies, kids in martial arts don’t back down. They have the confidence to look a bully in the eyes, and stand their ground. This is what nearly always happens: the bully gets scared and backs down! It happens 9 times out of 10– and for that other 1 time, your child has the tools to defend himself. If necessary, he’ll be able to get away, and seek out an authority figure. Most confrontations can be talked through. Occasionally, however, words aren’t enough. For either situation your child will be prepared. No one will be able to hurt him, or take anything away from him.
-
Weight Loss & Exercise
It’s easy these days for kids to not exercise. As a result, many children experience weight problems at a young age. Your child will be active the entire time. But there’s no pressure on him to do anything he can’t. We’ll encourage him to do his best – but this isn’t boot camp or anything like that!
