Stages of Development
Children learn and grow in stages. It is hard to pinpoint the exact ages and stages of development because some children either accelerate compared to their peers or are growing at a slower pace than normal. However, I’ve been studying child development for nearly two decades and have narrowed child growth and development into five age groups.
P.I.E.S.
The SKILLZ program’s continuing education materials allow our instructors to effectively teach our students in these four dimensions: Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Socially.
Age-Specific Curriculum
To alleviate the dissatisfaction in children’s martial arts classes, the SKILLZ program was developed after years of research in the areas of child development, neuroscience, and psychology. The result, a child development course that uses martial arts as a vehicle for teaching.
SKILLZ Based Training vs Technique-Based Training
Most martial arts forms are rooted in tradition and have been taught the same way for years. And while tradition is vital to keeping the art preserved, the way it is taught in today’s modern world isn’t as effective. As times change and as we become more educated, we must adjust to meet the needs of the people we serve. This is especially true when teaching children.
The SKILLZ Zone
The “SKILLZ zone” is the optimal place to increasing productivity and avoiding stagnation. By teaching children this early on, we can ensure that they have the necessary tools for consistent future successes.
