LITTLE WARRIORS: New students ages 5 - 9

The Little Warrior kids program is a fun, exciting introduction to martial arts which entertains and educates kids with a variety of engaging games and activities while exposing them to basic punching, kicking, blocking, and takedown techniques - the building blocks for their martial arts training! We keep the students as active as possible and minimize the amount of time they are waiting in line for their turn. For this age group we have a small teacher to student ratio of one coach and one student assistant for every 5-6 students. This allows the coach to give students the individual assistance and feedback needed to progress.

New students may join the class at any time. To keep students interested and excited about class we have a 12 week program that rotates through different strikes, combinations, obstacles, and activities.

Students remain excited about their achievements as they work towards earning their next patch or sash. All students at Ephrata Martial Arts begin by attending class without any sash, and will earn their white sash. In Little Warriors the students will then work towards small goals as they earn ten patches to place on their white sash before they're eligible for their orange sash. 

As students approach their orange sash they are invited to the Advanced Little Warriors class. This class has a new class structure as students learn to work back and forth with a partner while also learning twice as many techniques. There are 6 patches to earn for orange belt, and then they move on to purple belt. Students are then ready to start transitioning into the Young Dragons class and will earn remaining sashes through testing with that class.
