Preschool Program

Little Eagles Program The nationally-acclaimed age-specific "little eagles" class is specifically designed for 4-6 year-olds. This class will enhance your young child's skills by teaching eight main life skills: Focus, Teamwork, Balance, Coordination, Memory, Discipline, Self-Control, & Fitness. We also teach important life skills, and in a fun, exciting and enriching manner. Little Eagles is a 30-minute class. HapKiDo is a complete self-defense system; it incorporates the redirection of force found in Aikido. Hap Ki Do also incorporates both "hard" and "soft" techniques as found in many Chinese Kung Fu systems. To fully understand the true meaning of Hap Ki Do, we must understand what each word means. Hap means harmony, unity, coordination, together, or concentrated. Ki means energy, inner power or cosmic force. Do mean art, way of, achieve, or execute. Literally translated, Hap Ki Do means "The Art of Coordinated owner". During the Little Eagles class time, your child will be introduced to some of the basic HapKiDo techniques, which is instilled to our older students. This includes but is not limited to kicks and rolls along with self-defense. Our main focus for our young student is on concentration, following directions, and getting them to understand the HapKiDo techniques. We use positive reinforcement to encourage them to keep trying and never give up, a standard that will hopefully stay with them throughout their lives; we strive to keep them from saying "I can’t do that". Our instructors keep a positive attitude at all times toward students to keep them encouraged and motivated while having fun during the learning process. Once your child has graduated from the Little Eagles program at Korean Martial Arts they can transition into the children’s classes at the age of 7.
