CAN 3 YEAR OLDS REALLY LEARN KARATE?
Karate, a martial art with a rich history, teaches discipline, respect, and confidence. This is why many parents choose karate for their child. But how young is too young? Can a 3-year-old really learn karate?
The answer is simple: a resounding yes. Three years old is indeed a fantastic age to begin karate. This is because karate lays the foundation for instilling proper movement and strength in pre-schoolers. It teaches children independence from mum and dad and puts them into a structured social setting with children their age that they don’t know.
- It is important to choose a karate school that has the right amount of support for children under five. Kids this age lack the impulse control needed for traditional karate classes where they train with adults.
- Even under-fives training alongside 7-year-olds can be difficult due to the gap in development.
- Inferno Karate offers a specialised section for 3-year-old, 4-year-old, and 5-year-old children to train together.
- The syllabus is not just a simplified version of adult training but is designed with under-fives in mind, based on the Youth Physical Development Model and leading child psychology research.
This approach ensures your pre-schooler will learn all the physical attributes they need to succeed – not only in karate but in day-to-day life as well. The curriculum is taught in a way that makes sense to them, using language they understand.
Teaching karate from a young age gives kids a real leg up in their social, emotional, and physical development. If you’re ready to take the next step for your little one, schedule your free trial class at Inferno Karate.
