Krav Maga Yashir Boston Kids & Teens
Kids & Teens Krav Maga Program
Our Kids/Teens Krav Maga programs (for ages 6-17), are aimed at getting your child fit and focused: mentally, socially and physically. Our program(s) not only teach simple and effective self-defense but also equip your child with essential and important life skills. Our Kids/Teens Krav Maga programs incorporate many elements of our anti-bullying program and will teach your child how to avoid, diffuse and deal with aggressive, emotional and difficult situations involving other children/teens.
Our classes are taught in a warm, friendly and inclusive manner and our instructor team, while maintaining discipline makes sure that each class is fun and enjoyable for your child and that they come away with a feeling of accomplishment and success. We teach real martial arts and self-defense skills using games and drills that will help your child improve their general and everyday physical skills e.g. balance, movement, co-ordination, reflexes, etc. Our Kids/Teens Krav Maga Programs run at the same time, allowing for older brothers and sisters to train at the same time as their younger siblings. It also means that as a parent you don't have to alter the time(s) when your child takes classes as they get older. Classes are split into ages/levels when needed, to address the concerns and realities of different ages, as well as progress each child according to their individual needs and abilities. (A reality-based self-defense system must take into account the reality of the population it seeks to educate, rather than just water-down an adult system). Our classes are split into terms which roughly follow the school calendar, with a break for summer vacation: children sign up for each term (roughly 9-10 weeks), with a preference given to those who completed the previous term, and grade for their next belt at the end of that term. Setting short-term goals that can be accomplished within a child's understanding and scope of time helps them to understand the worth of working towards something.
We are now accepting kids and teens into our Saturday Morning Program (11:15 AM - 12:00 PM) and have opportunities for children in both age groups. If you are interested in your child or teenager taking a trial class, please use the form below to sign them up. If the form is not available, it means that we are too far through a session to accept new students. However, if you are interested in signing your child or teen up for the next session and want to be notified when that is then click here.
