What is Little PUMA’s?
Little PUMA’s is a revolutionary method of using Martial Arts as a training platform to encourage and motivate 4-7 year olds. It aids childhood development, teaches and promotes life skills. There are five key areas we concentrate on:
- Self esteem
- Discipline
- Channelling aggression
- Confidence
- Self-defence
Is there any proof of my child’s progress?
Yes, there are 9 Little PUMA gradings. These gradings are based on set themes. The themes revolve around encouraging the children’s self-awareness, self-protection, self-development and confidence as well as working together as a team, giving encouragement and respect for each other.
The grading themes are not set in any particular order but include the following:
- Balance
- Focus & Concentration
- Stranger Awareness
- Emergency Skills
- Co-ordination
- Teamwork & Leadership
- Fitness
- Discipline
- Memory
When are the Gradings?
The gradings take place roughly every 3 months. With success at each grade comes a new coloured belt and certificate. The little Puma will progress through the belts until they reach the black belt (little PUMA equivilant). Then the child will be ready to progress on to the next class; Junior Martial Arts.
What do I get when I enrole my child?
- A Little PUMAs unique training suit.
- Membership into our organisation: Professional Unification of Martial Arts (PUMA).
- Two weeks free training.
- A Martial Arts Licence (It is a lawful requirement that anyone participating in Martial Arts has a licence). The Licence also acts as a training record.
- ‘No fee’ gradings. Your child will grade every three months.
- New belts & Certificate supplied with each grading.
- Insurance.
- Stitch on badges, star awards, pin badges and certificates as they are earned by the Little PUMAs.
