 We believe that it is nearly impossible
to teach children in a normal class with older children.
We want to give them the best possible classes and
education. We believe that the early years are the most
important and if you get the right values taught to a
child at this age you will set them up for life.
We develop a child's respect and confidence, learn them
how to avoid strangers and basic self defence. We also
learn them how to avoid dangerous situations and how to
defeat a bully without fighting.
Parents of the children in our Little
Panther classes tell us what great changes we have made
to the life of their children.
Our classes are 45mins to 1 hour long and have specially trained
Instructors and Assistants to teach children of
this age group.

In order to thoroughly develop each skill
and at the same time make their training fun and
motivational, the Little Panther curriculum specifies
one skill per class. The curriculum includes a variety
of drills used to teach the skill. These drills are easy
to follow and help the Little Panther develop each skill
with significant movement throughout the ranks.
The little Panther curriculum involves 7
belt colours, starting from white belt through to white
with red stripe. The belts are awarded as each Panther
completes each skill and is ready to move onto the next. The little Panther curriculum specialises
in the complete development of the following skills:
-
FOCUS
-
TEAM WORK
-
CONTROL
-
BALANCE
-
MEMORY
-
DISCIPLINE
-
FITNESS
-
COORDINATION
|
  |
|
FOCUS |
This skill will help your child's aim,
listening and reaction skill. They will
excel faster in physical activities; become
a better listener and more focused at school
|
|
TEAMWORK |
Essential for building character; which will
help your child to make friends and become a
better leader. |
|
CONTROL |
Having control means making good decisions,
Control builds confidence. |
|
BALANCE |
Your child is striving to participate in
activities that require balance, like riding
a bicycle. Developing this skill at an early
age will help them in many activities and
aids good posture development. |
|
MEMORY |
A child's brain needs exercise just as much
as their body. Memory development is good
exercise for your child's brain. Our
exercise are constantly helping your child
think and make good decisions. |
|
DISCIPLINE |
Our programme uses the Little Panther drills
to help create the vision that discipline is
fun and rewarding. Your child will learn to
take pride in doing the right thing.
|
|
FITNESS |
Its important in the age of
computer games, for a child to understand
the importance of being healthy and
physically fit. If your child cannot burn
off all that extra energy by exercising, how
will they burn it off? |
|
COORDINATION |
Your child will learn left
from right. They will become less clumsy in
their movements and will find an all round
improvement in their performance in many
activities. |
|
GRADUATION |
After your child has completed the 8 skills
and has obtained the skill stripe belts she
or he will be ready for graduation to the
next level. Students
will will
progress into the advanced children's
programme and train personally with Master
Kirkwood within Blantyre Sports Centre,
Lesmahagow high School or Motherwell
Ravenscraig school. |
