Kids (Ages 6-12) 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 for lunch time, play time and workout time.

• 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.
