Giving your Child the Confidence to Succeed

Ages 2-9 years old

Empower our Children - Children will gain invaluable knowledge and experience... and learn techniques to defend themselves.

Perhaps the most important goal that self-defence teaches is the ability to recognize, avoid, and distance oneself from potential conflict situations. With the unacceptable levels of crime against children in the world of today, it is important for children to understand how to deal with a situation under duress.

Catrobatkidz Self Defence incorporates essential areas such as:

• Defence Techniques

• Road Safety

• Simplified First Aid

• Household accidents and how to Deal with them

• Dealing with uncomfortable situations

• How to recognize danger and avoid it

• Making the school and home a safer environment

• Emergency Protocol / Services and numbers

Children will gain invaluable knowledge and experience on how to defend themselves. Most importantly children will learn when and how to use this knowledge.

Catrobatkidz Self Defence classes are split into two categories. Category One (grounding) is for children 2 to 6 years old, including children with disabilities, and Category Two (refining) for children 6 to 9 years old.
Both categories will focus on development of skills, but this will not be the main focus of the older age category. Children who fall into this age category are more likely to have the mental and emotional abilities to stay calm under duress. This category places emphasis on practicality of self defence techniques as well as the ability to use the grounding skills in everyday life.

If you are qualified as an instructor in any style of self defence and would like to join the Catrobatkidz team, we would like to hear from you.
