Children have specific characteristics such as size, anatomy, psyche, and limited life experience. Children also have specific threats that they have to deal with such as environmental dangers, dealing with bullies, assault by an adult or kidnapping. In class we teach your child how to recognize aggressive behaviour and how to deal with immediate threats. In the process of training, children also learn how to de-escalate, remain calm and decide appropriately on when to respond (or when not to respond) using physical force. The training also aims to improve their self-esteem, discipline, confidence, and respect of other people.
Krav Maga is also a great work out - Your child can strike the pad, shout out loud, play-grapple, and have fun. Every drill and activity is performed safely under the instructor's supervision.
Krav Maga for kids and juniors are taught using specialized games that are aimed to help your child so that they get used to physical contact, develop movement and coordination, and also increase their assertiveness. In class we also teach your child how to avoid confrontation, how to defend themselves if needed, and escape at the earliest opportunity. Instructors will supplement your child's knowledge by openly explaining real-worldscenarios that children may encounter - For example, the difference between being bullied by a classmate and an attempted abduction by an adult - The response to each situation will be different and the level of aggression should be proportional to the level of threat.

KIDS (age 7-9)
What's are the classes like? Kids classes involve plenty of games that directly translates to self-defence skills. It is very active and lots of fun. We teach kids how to fight but we do not encourage them to be overly aggressive. Combative drills are done on pads only and there is no sparring (but there are 'sparring games'). We also teach kids to posture confidently, use their voice, and to avoid confrontation if possible. We teach kids that fighting back is a last option and we always advice them to seek immediate help from a parent/teacher/police.
JUNIORS (age 10-14)
What's are the classes like? Junior classes involve plenty of games that directly translates to self defence skills. It is very active and lots of fun. Junior techniques start to resemble the adult techniques and they are taught to use mellow as well as controlled aggression. We teach juniors how to fight by striking pads and also by teaching them light and controlled sparring. The use of reasonable use of force based on New Zealand law is introduced at junior class. We also teach them how to posture confidently, use their voice, and to avoid confrontation if possible. We tell Juniors that fighting back is a last option and we always encourage them to seek immediate help from a parent/teacher/police.
