The Dojo offers children, boys and girls, a safe and structured Kali program,
especially adapted to their age.
The children are first trained in double sticks techniques to improve their brain
capacities.
Modern neurology science has proven that some Martial Arts concepts, like the
Filipino double sticks, have a tremendous impact on the balance of the two
cerebral hemispheres. The child trained in Filipino Martial Arts will automatically
improve his focus capacities, memory, coordination, and will eventually develop
ambidexterity. (see video)
Our program then teaches children to defend themselves in all fighting ranges :
kicks, punches, elbow and knee strikes, take downs and ground fighting.
This training will allow them to adapt to any given situation.
Breathing and posture exercises finally complete the training, helping the child to
centre his body and mind, and quiet his thoughts through basic meditation.
Our children are built up to become peaceful warriors, who learn not only to fight,
but also to channel their violence, control their strength and respect their
partners.
Often enjoyed to the sound of drums, our “Little Dragons” program, taught
by professionnals, aims to be complete, playful but serious, and non-competitive.
More than a Martial Art curriculum, it should be seen as an educational tool
that will bring the best out of your child, encouraging his individual
creativity, and having a decisive impact on his behavior, discipline, self-confidence
and well-being.
Far from violence and aggressiveness, the learning of a Martial Art is a way
of living, a philosophy, and a great tool for personal development and
health.
