Kids Novice Karate: 4 - 5 years olds
FINALLY! A karate program for 4 and 5 year olds
that teaches Life Skills – while they're having fun!
Dear Parent,
When you have a pre-schooler in the house you soon learn that they are an energetic dynamo, always on the move and curious about everything. You want to encourage them to be active but there are few programs available to pre-school kids that are more than supervised play-time.

But what if there was a program for your young child, one that not only kept them active but also taught them Life Skills, like:
- following instructions
- listening and concentrating
- self-discipline
- valuable street-proofing skills
- physical agility and coordination
My name is Scott Bullard and I am a karate sensei (chief instructor). I have developed a highly successful program designed to teach 4 and 5 year olds these very life skills. It is called the Novice Pre-school Program taught at Canada's Best™ Karate.
When creating this program I realized early on that in order to teach a pre-schooler you need to capture their attention and imagination. That's what makes karate the ideal tool to use to teach life skills to kids – they are intrigued by the techniques of karate and are eager to imitate the actions of the instructor. Our instructors know this and therefore model not only good karate form but also good focus, concentration, respect, manners and discipline.
The key is a structured environment
From the moment your child attends a class you will begin to see how the Novice Program is able to make a difference with our students. Every moment of their time has been thought out and planned ahead by the instructor so that the students are guided through each stage of learning.
Your child will begin to show real confidence as they start to learn and practise the various blocks, punches and kicks under the direct supervision of our instructors. Because the classes are grouped by age, they are training with students near to their physical and emotional level. As well, with the lowest student:instructor ratio of any of our programs - some classes as low as 5:1 - you will know that your child will receive the attention he or she requires.
Each class your child will be lead through a series of activities and drills designed to develop focus and concentration, lessons that encourage listening skills and team work. And of course the karate instruction is great for improving physical development, balance, agility and strength. Combine all this with our unique home study pages and you have a formula that works!
