KARATE KIDS
7 through 10 year olds

Our Karate Kids class is a program designed for children 7 to 10 years old. At this period in their lives, children are faced with conflict, moral dilemmas, school, and a whole slew of issues they have never had to face before. They are beginning to develop their independence at this age and friends are becoming more important and influential. Kids in this age group need to learn how to deal with conflict. Children enrolled in the Karate Kids program not only learn to protect themselves, but also learn the value of finding non-violent ways to resolve conflict. We teach children vital fundamental skills that will help them throughout their lives -- not just in a fight.

Some of the benefits to the Karate Kids program:
	Improved self confidence
	Teaches kids how to defend themselves
	Teaches your child to escape harmful situations
	Teaches fundamental skills that will help children throughout their lives
	Teaches kids the 4 "Mental Aspects of Learning and Training"
	The "Defeat the Bully WITHOUT Fighting Program" teaches Karate Kids how to deal with teasing and bullying without becoming a victim or getting into fights

TWEENS
11 through 15 year olds

Our Tweens program is a curriculum designed for teenagers, 11 - 15 years old - that age group "in between" children and adults. This program incorporates self-defense training in challenging, exciting ways such as sparring, team-building drills, Defeat the Bully without Fighting lessons, etc.

Some of the benefits of the Tweens program:
	Help teens create their own identity in the face of peer pressure and being influenced by what others want them to be
	Help teens learn to stand up for their beliefs
	The program helps teens gain self-awareness through their own accomplishments and cooperation with other students toward a common goal of self-improvement and skills development
	Provides a defense against Gangs and their influence because Scornavacco Family Karate offers teens a positive community and constructive role models.Teens will benefit from a reward program based on positive achievement rather than violent criminal activity

Most importantly, teens will be shown the same amount of respect given to adults; they will not be treated as children. For that reason, Tweens are usually tested along with adults.
