Juniors Class
Foundation Zen Do Kai for young children. Coordination, focus, and confidence built through structured, age-appropriate training.

4-7 years
What This Class Is
The Junior class is the start of the journey. Sessions are short, energetic, and structured so children learn through repetition, play, and clear positive feedback. Foundation movement skills come first: balance, coordination, spatial awareness, and basic body control. These transfer directly into every other sport and activity a child does.

What you learn
The Curriculum, in Detail
Foundation Movement

Age-appropriate punches, kicks, and basic stances. Technique taught through games and repetition, not pressure.
Listening and Following
The dojo discipline of paying attention, following instruction, and waiting your turn. Trained, not assumed.
