17 Oct OMMA – Pre Karate Program
The On Mission Martial Arts (OMMA) Pre-Karate Program is an age-specific modification of our “Young Warriors” (7-12 year olds) curriculum that focuses specifically on improving preschool-age (3 ½ – 6 year olds) children’s basic motor and learning skills. Developing and improving these skills can help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They can become better students at school, better listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future. We believe the time between the ages of 3 ½ and 6 are among the most important years of a child’s development. Our program can enhance positive development in a fun, motivating and most importantly, Christ-honoring community.
The OMMA Pre-Karate Program will also prepare your child for our “Young Warriors” children’s Martial Arts Program. In the Pre-Karate classes, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. They will learn how to work with others and follow directions from their instructors. Our OMMA Instructors are good role models who are trained specifically to work with children of various ages, including our 3 ½ – 6 year olds.
The curriculum in our OMMA Pre-Karate Program includes developing particular physical and mental “Life Skills” that are necessary for success in various aspects of their future. Here are the primary skills that your Pre-Karate student will be developing with OMMA.
1. Teamwork & Cooperation
2. Respect for God, others, self
3. Balance & Posture
4. Coordination (hand/eye, hand/foot, right/left)
5. Fitness (strength, flexibility, aerobic)
6. Memory
7. Control
8. Discipline
9. Self-Defense awareness and foundational skills
The curriculum includes a variety of drills used to teach each of these skill. We try to keep each drill simple and fun for this age group. Preschoolers generally learn more by playing, and so these drills are more like games to the students. These drills (“games”) will help your child remember more and also be more willing to learn and do things he or she might normally not enjoy doing.”
