Evolution Martial Arts Kids Programs (ages 6-11)-
*Karate *Tae-Kwon-Do *Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

We offer 2 complete programs for children, ages 8-11.  Our programs can be taken separately, or together, all at one simple monthly rate.


1. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program-

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent martial art for children based upon the way that the art is designed. The overall fighting strategy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is designed to equip a physically smaller or weaker individual with an effective method of defending against a larger and stronger attacker. When applying BJJ techniques, leverage is paramount, as leverage is the secret to the amplification and most efficient use of force. BJJ also has the most developed methods of fighting while on one's back, a position weaker fighters will often find themselves when attacked.

2. Karate and Tae-Kwon-Do Program-
Our youth program covers the first 3 belts of Evolution Martial Arts' Hybrid Karate and Tae-Kwon-Do curriculum.  Our program focuses on effective, reality based techniques that the average child in this age group is realistically capable of doing in a legitimate self-defense situation.  Aside from learning REAL self-defense techniques there is also a strong focus on developing self confidence, self discipline, focus, teamwork, and a positive attitude in all of our students. The classes are shorter in duration than the adult classes, but they are still run with the same intensity. Just like the adult class, we push our kids to the limit by offering one of the most intense workouts around. Classes are fun and exciting, utilizing a variety of unique as well as traditional training
methods and exercises.
 
 We believe that martial arts competitions are an important part of learning. Valuable skills, such as good sportsmanship, how to work as a team, and how to manage success and disappointment can all be learned through competition. All students in the Early Start program must compete in 2 martial arts competitions (forms or sparring) before they are eligible to move up to the adult class.

Like our adult program, we don't just hand out belts. Proficient mastery of the curriculum must be reached in order to promote to the next belt level. Because true full contact fighting is not allowed (without special permission) in the 6-11yr class, and because our full curriculum is too complicated and physically demanding for most children, our Early Start program has a different belt system. Rather than earning a black belt, once a student masters the Early Start program (s)he is awarded the rank of blue belt and either moves on to the adult classes, or if not old enough stays in the 6-11yr class and continues to learn the advanced curriculum. Although an adult can earn a blue belt in as little as 9 months (though it usually takes much longer), it takes slightly more time in the 6-11yr class. This is partially because the classes are of shorter duration, so not quite as much is covered in each class.
Here is how the junior belt system for the Early Start program works-

Junior White - 2 months minimum time to advance.
Junior Yellow (equals adult white belt with 1 stripe) – 2 months time
Junior Orange (equals adult white belt with 2 stripes) – 2 months time
Junior Blue (equals adult yellow belt) - 2 months time
Junior Purple (equals yellow belt with 1 stripe) -2 months time
Junior Green (equals adult yellow belt with 2 stripes) -3 months time
Junior Red (equals adult orange belt) -3 months time
Junior Brown (equals adult orange belt 2 stripes) -4 months time
Adult Blue

Just like the adult class, all students advance at their own pace. Students will be invited to belts promotions when they are ready, not simply when enough time has passed. Some students will learn quicker than others and advance faster. This is normal, especially in the 6-11yr age range due to the fact that all children develop at a different pace both physically and mentally.
