Kids Martial Arts February Camp | Spirit of the Heart

Spirit of the Heart Kids February Vacation Camp

Kids learn invaluable life lessons of communication, boundary setting and respecting, and non-verbal, verbal and physical self-defense techniques.

We play cooperative games which foster positive social skills and self-esteem through equal involvement for all.

Kids get to express themselves through the Indonesian martial art of Pukulan which encourages free movements of four animals: the monkey, snake, crane and tiger.

We explore the worlds of the four animals to learn about being grounded, playful, coordinated, fast, balanced, fluid, intense and creative.

Kids have free play time to build friendships and relax into an unstructured flow.

We do art projects based on various themes. Some themes may include: each animal and its unique quality, community, positive affirmations, peace, mind-body-spirit, etc.

Kids get outside weather permitting.

We work together to build a respectful and caring learning and playing environment. We have buddies each day and help each other with learning and becoming a part of the spirit of the heart community.

Ages : 5 -8

My heart melts every time I watch these children being taught from an inspiring teacher how to love and respect themselves and others while gaining confidence through teamwork, self affirmations, self defense, learning specific kung fu moves, etc. This is what I have been searching for to help bring out the best in my boys. Thank you!

My daughter (now almost 11) has been studying at Spirit of the Heart for about 5 & 1/2 years. It has been a wonderful experience for her. She has gained incredible strength, confidence, and stamina, both physically and mentally. She has made lasting friendships in the supportive community that this school is. She is determined to continue until she gets her black belt, and beyond. Best of all (from my point of view), there will never be a place in the world that as a woman she will be afraid to walk!
