YOUTH MARTIAL ARTS

Smart Snacking (Ages 8-14)

Snacking is a guarantee with kids. This class will teach them how to safely make healthy snacks, without needing any major kitchen appliance! Knowing what is in your food is the first step toward healthy eating. Knowledge is power and this class gives the power to the kids! Each participant will receive a cook book at the end of the session including all the recipes that were tested during class.

Mini Doodlers (Ages 3-5)

Your child will be able to express himself while creating masterpieces you will surely treasure. Each week in this toddler art class, the children will be introduced to a different style of crafting or art projects. The children will begin to develop important school readiness skills such as fine motor skills and the ability to listen and follow directions all while being encouraged to express individual creativity.

We will be happy to escort your little ones to class from Kids’ Korner and return them safely, while you are busy exercising.

Girls Boot Camp (Ages 8-14)

Girl POWER! Each Week the class will perform new, fun and effective exercises to condition the entire body.
Come prepared to play hard and work hard while hanging out with friends.

Fit for Tots (Ages 3 - 5)

Exercising is fun and oh so beneficial for your youngster!  No parents needed for this class.  The children will stretch, hop, skip, wiggle, jump, roll, giggle and smile their morning away.  We want to get your child excited about taking care of her body.  All classes will include a warm-up, a structured exercise circuit that will change week to week, and a cool-down complete with stickers!

We will be happy to escort your little ones to exercise class from Kids’ Korner and return them safely, while you are busy exercising too.
