"Over the past 17 Years, thousands of Gold Coast children have grown their Confidence with our Little Ninjas Programs".
How to Double Your Child's Confidence in 90 Days Guaranteed
Dear Parent
If you're a caring parent living on the Gold Coast and your child is experiencing any of the following:
• Suffers from shyness
• Lacks confidence
• Has low or no co-ordination
• Is not sure how to join an established group
• Has trouble making friends at school or in the playground
• Doesn't enjoy team sports or activities
Then you need to hear Anna's story.
Anna was in a similar position... Her son wasn't interested in main stream sports or activities - he was painfully shy, wouldn't hold his head high and look people in the eye. He really lacked confidence and Anna knew that something needed to be done now!
And things were only getting worse. In fact, just before Anna brought him along to class his low confidence was spiralling out of control. She knew that if it continued like this it would affect his results at school and he would find it hard to make new friends as easily as other children.
Anna knew that martial arts classes was a possible option, but she was sceptical due to stories she had heard about intimidating instructors, overly large classes with little supervision, and all ages of children thrown in class together.
But it was finding the right martial arts school and instructor that now allows Anna to never worry about those things ever again!
Her son is now a confident teenager who enjoys a healthy balanced life. He excels at anything he tries his hand at, including team sports. The impact of his improved self confidence has meant a big jump in his school grades, and socially he is a popular kid. He's continued his martial arts training and is now a Taekwondo red belt, with a goal set to be a sports journalist when he finishes school.
And you have a great opportunity to share these benefits with your child too!
But this is a limited opportunity only available to those parents who act quickly as we like to keep our classes quite small. We only have 17 spaces available for beginners each term.

"After 6 weeks he was a different child!"
We had a 3 year old who struggled with group participation and focus. Heading into kindy we had tried many parenting techniques and group sports.Initially, his behaviour was improved just as an incentive to start. After 3 weeks we found he was happier, excited and doing as he was told. After 6 weeks he was a different child! Better behaved, making good choices and able to focus in a group.

"The changes are so positive!"
Alijah was 3 when he started and the smallest in the class. We could see the benefits of the program but were really unsure whether to continue because he was so clingy. We felt so strongly that it was a great program and we are so happy now that we've stuck it out. The changes in Alijah are so positive. His social skills have improved, he doesn't need us in the class with him anymore, and his instructors also notice a huge change in his balance, focus and co-ordination.
Katrina Johnston (Alijah's mum)
"He's gained amazing confidence"
We started our 4 year old son in Prep Little Ninjas in preparation for school. We were concerned that he wouldn't be socially ready for school. Prep Little Ninjas taught him the skills necessary to transition into school seamlessly. He's gained amazing confidence and is doing extremely well at school. This has relieved our stress! Thank you so much Chief Instructor, Instructor James and Instructor Olivia.

"Motivated to help out at home"
We discovered the Little Ninjas program approx 6 weeks ago and both our children are loving their classes. They are really engaged in the Good Habits program and motivated to help out at home and achieve their rewards. We were recently surprised when our kids were taught to remember my mobile phone no. for emergencies. We never imagined they could do this. Also, we get great info from your parenting tips - things we sometimes overlook!

Every Little Ninjas Class Develops These Skills for Your Child
Confidence
After just a few classes you'll see an improvement in your child's confidence. Beginners are introduced to Little Ninjas at their own pace. Gentle encouragement with partner drills and lots of fun in the classes encourages shy children to participate. Improved confidence is one of the messages we hear from parents weekly! Our age-specific curriculum is designed to ensure children with all levels of fitness and co-ordination can achieve, and at their own pace. The belt ranking system is a fantastic tool to developing confidence. Children are constantly working towards their next goal and our systems encourage and support young students in having the confidence to try new things.
Focus & Concentration
Lets face it... as parents we're often competing with different types of technology to get our children's attention. It drives us mad that we have to repeat ourselves so often just to get their response. We teach our young students the "3 Rules of Focus" right in their first class. The Little Ninja curriculum is designed to engage even the most active of young students and we get great results with our "Do It First Attitude" education and bonus projects. Our "mat chats" educate our Little Ninjas on many different aspects of their lives, delivered in age appropriate ways. Students who learn to focus at preschool age are better prepared for starting primary school. "If my child doesn't listen to me at home, how much is he/she missing at school?"
Social Skills
Watching a group of young children interact can be hilarious - except if you're "the embarrassed mum"! Little Ninjas works on developing amazing social and emotional skills in our youngest students which includes working within a small group, showing respect for others, using their words, ignoring other's silly behaviour, learning to take turns, using good manners (in our dojo, at home, kindy/school), losing without crying, winning graciously, working with the opposite sex... Plus lots more
Fun Fitness
The unique thing about Little Ninjas training, is that it suits most kids! If your child is not the sporty type, or interested in team sports, don't worry. In every class we work on co-ordination, aerobic fitness, balance, strength and gross motor skills.. Class plans are never boring and they are created to meet the needs of the physical, social and emotional development of children in the 3-4 and 5-6 age groups. Little Ninjas have so much fun in class that they don't realise they are learning such valuable life lessons!
We're a Great Community
Many families have cultivated valuable friendships as a result of their children training at our dojo. We have regular events for students and their friends including beach training, movie nights, graduations, birthday parties, discos, and all other excuses to get the children together. We pride ourselves on being one big happy family!
By the Way...
Passionate Instructors
Most instructors have been teaching with us for 10+ years, after starting their own training as very young students! Our instructors undergo rigorous training and education programs, and are great role models for students. They are full time career instructors, and also members of the Martial Arts Industry Association, hold Qld Govt Blue Card safety clearance; and are first aid qualified.
Clean, Safe Training Facility
As soon as you step into our dojo you will notice it smells great! We spend hours each week ensuring our non-slip flooring is sterilised (thanks to a $3K machine - we don't rely on just mops and buckets). Plus all other areas of the dojo are clean, well maintained and designed for safety. Our training equipment is top quality and customised to suit our different age-specific programs.
FAQs
Will this make my child aggressive?
Absolutely not! Our curriculum and delivery methods ensure we are clear about not misusing our martial arts skills. In fact our students are taught to avoid conflict plus follow a simple 3-step process if someone is being unkind or bullying them - without laying a finger on them. Our classes provide children with loads of energy to have a safe, controlled environment to expel it, with strict parameters as we teach them self control and self discipline. We also have a zero tolerance of hurting others! We always teach peaceful outcomes.
Is this for girls?
Yes it is! In fact many of our classes have equal nos. boys and girls. Some of our most powerful, flexible and determined Little Ninjas are girls. Each class we partner students with the same sex where possible. Our classes are so much fun and girls don't feel intimidated or annoyed by having boys in their class!
What if my child isn't sporty?
Team sports are intimidating for non-sporty types and "sitting on the bench" for half a season can damage a child's self esteem. The beauty of Little Ninjas is that every child progresses at their own pace. We have a structured reward system for short term and longer term goal achievements. Many of our not-so-sporty students excel in our character development program which also has rewards. Every student has the ability to shine in Little Ninjas!
How safe is this?
On the safety scale, it's reported safer than ballroom dancing! We have a purpose built facility with safety flooring, well maintained age-appropriate training aids, and a curriculum to suit the needs of each program. Our classes are lots of fun but well controlled. We cap our classes to ensure the instructor/student ratios are low. Many classes have more than one instructor and very occasionally, parents might be asked to help out for a drill if needed.
