What’s the difference?
What’s it all about?
Lil’ Ninjas and Kinder Kickers are not designed to just teach basic martial arts.
“Mr. Welch is a great role model and genuinely cares about his students.”- Gretchen Rehrauer, mother of Brad – IMA 1st degree black belt
The program teaches children the basic tools to better learn martial arts when they are older and advance to higher levels of karate. Kids will learn the importance of focus, respect, teamwork and more.
These programs are valuable to young martial artists to give them a leg up for their future martial arts career. Not only will the skills they learn benefit their martial arts, they’ll also benefit their focus and concentration in school and everyday life.

Each week during the 8-week cycle, we focus on a different theme. The drills, games and floor chats are designed to include: Focus, Coordination, Respect, Self-Discipline, Control, Self-Defense, Team Work, Fitness, Balance, Memory and more.
During each week, the students will earn a coordinated “curriculum stripe” on their belt to show they have completed the level. When students complete a homework assignment, they are awarded a special “power stripe.” Our instructors cater to each student’s specific skill levels and abilities. We are confident you will start to see positive changes in your child after only a few short weeks of classes.
