Little Ninjas

Our Little Ninjas class was created to meet a need in the local community of Kingsport, TN.  A lot of parents reached out and expressed an interest in having their younger children get an opportunity to start practicing martial arts. We didn’t want to let them down, so we put time and effort into developing the ideal program!

Little Ninjas is for kids ages 4-6 years old and focuses on teaching them the fundamental concepts of both karate and BJJ. More than that, it helps them to develop their skills in listening, focus, coordination.  All of this while helping them to stay healthy and active!

The Little Ninjas Program runs 4 times a year with 10 classes (once a week) each time. Kids earn stripes on their belt at the end of each 10 week course and at the end of 1 year, they graduate to a red/white belt and continue to earn stripes with each subsequent time through the program. Depending on the child’s age, they will complete the program between 4 to 8 times, having a mastery of the fundamentals of both karate and BJJ.

Training consists of doing basic technique and also learning concepts through unique games specifically designed to help them develop as martial artists. And in developing whole body coordination and control to set them up for future success. The cost is $125 per 10 week course and includes a free uniform. A discounted rate is available for returning students.

Our kids love the Little Ninjas class and we’re confident yours will too!
