The Pee Wee Karate Program
Our Pee Wee Karate program is designed to provide the following:
- A less formal program than Kids Karate. Only some of the Funakoshi Karate grading syllabus is taught
- A fun, yet structured environment
- Educational games
- Reflex training
- Balance training
- Hand/eye co-ordination training
- Bag work
- An introduction to light sparring
The emphasis is on instilling respect, good manners, developing character and having fun. The program is designed to run for two years, with an informal grading conducted every two months.
Following a grading, students receive a white belt with coloured stripe – yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, 1st brown, 2nd brown, 3rd brown and finally black stripe. Once a student reaches black stripe (the highest level in this program), or turns 8, they can enrol in the ‘full’ Funakoshi Karate system – Kids Karate.
Students are also ‘rewarded’ for commitment to training through a merit badge program. At the end of each month, provided they have attended a minimum of 60% of the training sessions, they receive a merit badge.
