At this age the kid is physically and mentally more prepared, and has better understanding capabilities. The kid had accumulated a fair amount of experience and is ready to advance further in the intensive path towards becoming a Martial Artist. Nevertheless, the emphasis is yet the preparation for the higher levels of training to come while giving the utmost importance to his/her enjoyment and satisfaction.
By now the kid had learned to take responsibility and discipline, team work and improved his/her self esteem which are the main characteristics of Martial Arts. The kids are being tested in person and there is a need for much sensitivity in such an event. The training program in this stage is preparing the kid to his/her mental and physical maturity.
The main principle is perseverance and giving all you have on the mat. This will benefit your child both in the short and long run.
Obviously, the vast portion of attention is granted to education, discipline and developing the kid's fighter spirit. These virtues will contribute the child in his/her development so that later on the kid will learn to love 'Gadi Kenpo-Jitsu', love the training and the Sensei and to practice Martial Arts as a way of life, and in a later stage, when more sacrifice will be needed, the student will invest his/her physical and mental powers and will strive for great achievements in the field and will hold a sound base and incredible motivation.
" Determination and Perseverance = Guarantied Success"
