Having the confidence to stand out the front and lead the warm up is an amazing ability. Especially for our youngest students.
It can be really daunting, all the children and parents are facing you, and you have to be loud so everyone can hear you and remember all the moves.
This young man did an excellent job of it today and we are really proud of him.
Confidence is key, and we LOVE to help everyone value themselves and know what they’re capable of in life.

We had a great evening in the dojo tonight! Well done everyone, lots of practice, learning and plenty of fun along the way!

Community.
This is our third space, or as I call it, our second home.

Before class, you’ll see our community chatting, laughing.
People catching up.
Parents talking while the kids get ready.

And when class starts, everyone gets stuck in.

That’s one of the things we love most about Canton.
Yes, we’re here to learn martial arts and get better at what we do.

But over time, you get to know people.

You make friends.

You become part of something.

It’s not just a class.

It’s your people 🫶

And another one of our amazing Little Samurais 🤩

Yes, we teach respect.
Yes, we teach listening.
Yes, we teach martial arts

But we also teach fun and friendships 🙌🏻 (and sound effects obviously make it even more fun 🤣)

Our littlest Samurais are so amazing 🤩

On the surface, it looks like a nice self defence partner drill 🥋

‼️ But there’s so much going on here

They’re are learning and practicing:
👉 takings turns
👉 giving space to each other
👉watching what their partner is doing so they can work together
👉 decision making
👉 remembering the sequence of moves…

And then a little high five at the end 🙌🏻
Cooperation, encouragement and celebrating each other.

Important skills for life, not just for in the dojo🫶

The hard part about karate??
Repetition. 😂🥋
Doing the same thing again and again until it starts to feel easier.
So, each month our youngest members have a particular skill we focus on. They get lots of chances to practise it, improve it and, hopefully, feel a little more confident doing it.
Then at the end of the month, we celebrate and reward the progress they’ve made. 🏅👏
It might seem like a small thing, but those little wins add up.
Learning that “I couldn’t do it before, but I can do it now” is a pretty powerful thing for a 4, 5, 6 or 7 year old to realise.
And that’s one of the ways we help our youngest members build confidence — one little achievement at a time. ❤️🥋
