Corona's Martial Arts Academy's Little Ninjas program introduces children ages 3 to 6 years to the adventures of martial arts. Our program will teach your child the foundations for learning martial arts while imparting life skills and improved body awareness. Ages 6 - 12 At Corona's Martial Arts Academy of Phoenix, children receive special attention because we understand that they have special needs compared with adults. Discipline is an important part of class structure. We have found that when children are offered an environment with strong, appropriate boundaries, they are able to flourish and be more themselves. Shy, unconfident children become strong and open; hyper children are able to show self-control; and aggressive children become kinder. Throughout our classes you will hear your child saying "Yes, Sir!" and "Yes, Ma'am!" with an enormous smile on his or her face. Corona's Martial Arts Academy gives children an outstanding work out, an important issue, as obesity is a growing epidemic among children. Class often begins with animal drills - fun, creative exercises that mimic the movements of animals and workout the entire body while promoting body awareness and control.
