The Martial Gym program at Nikkei Heritage Centre is a year-round program for both boys and girls starting from 5 years old and progressing all the way to adult. The program starts in the fall and ending the season with a performance in June.
Children love Martial Gym classes because they are fun and they learn lots of cool moves. Classes bring diversity from gymnastics and the practicality of martial arts into its programs. Children learn different rolls, jumps, obstacles, handstands, cartwheels, rope skipping and a wealth of other movement patterns so they run and react faster, have better control over their bodies than typical at their age. In Martial Gym, children do not just follow instructions but are encouraged to understand, be inquisitive, to participate and to be creative within a structured framework.
