What is the Rising Leaders Youth Krav Maga Program?
The Rising Leaders Youth Krav Maga Program is designed specifically for children age 7 to 12 (we do make exceptions on a case-by-case basis). This is a self-defense class that covers a variety of physical and non-physical self-defense skills while promoting team work, leadership, and character.
What can my child expect to learn in class?
- How to use their voice and set boundaries with peers and adults
- Situational awareness and how to react quickly to unsafe situations
- How to differeniate use of force according to the level of threat.
- The way students respond to peers at school looks very different from how they respond to adult threats
- There is a continuum of self-defense from verbal tactics to escape techniques to combatives
- Stand up and ground defenses from a variety of attacks and attackers
- But above all, your child will gain confidence, a sense of responsibility, make new friends, and have fun!
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility…
This is why, as students progress along our belt system, they not only need to pass a test demonstrating their use of the physical techniques they have learned, but also demonstrate their commitment to strength of character by creating projects highlighting our key character traits such as integrity, respect, cooperation, leadership, resilience, etc.
What do we bring?
- Wear comfortable workout clothes
- Water bottle
- No outside shoes allowed on the mats. You are welcome to bring clean-bottom gym shoes to wear on the Krav Maga mats only (no shoes allowed on the Jiu-Jitsu mats)
