The Kenseido children’s program trains our students to be strong, and confident in themselves and their abilities. Self defense is achieved through being strong enough not to be a target and as a last resort through the effective techniques of Kenseido.
More important is the mental and physical development that takes place during their training. Confidence and focus are important tools used and strengthened in every class. Through both games and serious training we teach our students that focus is a skill that can be improved through training, and with every success their confidence grows. Even with difficulty they learn that with effort you improve. So if you try your hardest, with success or not, you get closer to your goals because you have improved yourself with your effort. As they continue at their own pace to advance and improve the sense of accomplishment and pride in their efforts is an important confidence builder.
Physically they improve all aspects of themselves. Strength, agility, balance, coordination, reflexes, and the meshing of all these things with the mental acuity and skills of Kenseido.
Fun, safe, and challenging, Kenseido allows your child to grow and improve in their safety and athletic capacity. In our Pre-Kenseido class even children as young as 4 ½ can begin instruction, though at a rate more befitting their development and attention span.
Teens in Kenseido can be trained in the adult class, and gain a new and positive peer group. Being expected to behave as an adult, where courtesy is an important part of the curriculum.
