Why Ages 5-8 Is the Perfect Time to Start
Children ages 5-8 are in a critical window for physical and character development. At this age, kids are:
- Rapidly developing motor skills and coordination
- Learning how to follow instructions in group settings
- Building foundational social skills and friendships
- Developing their sense of self-confidence and capability
Martial arts training at this age creates positive habits and builds a foundation of respect, discipline, and confidence that carries into elementary school and beyond.
