5 ELEMENTS KIDS MARTIAL ARTS

Our Black Belt Curriculum is established based upon our name, the 5 Elements:

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Space.

Our students have multiple belts within each element in order to advance further.

Make no mistake, your child’s personal development goes beyond mastery of the martial arts and goes into the realm of leadership, excellence in life, regardless of their path.  We have distilled the most effective aspects of child’s psychology, martial arts, fitness conditioning, and decades of experience to provide our young students with the ultimate technology to become a happy, healthy, fit and self-confident young men and women.

We propose Goal Setting as a very important aspect for our students mindset:  The goal of one day becoming a Black Belt is a big deal, something that they will carry for the rest of their lives.  Commitment to excellence, we want all of our students to become a Black Belt apprentice: Becoming a 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts Black Belt goes way beyond the skills required on the mats; it’s about learning how to cope with obstacles in life, understanding that suffering is an inevitable aspect of becoming a stronger human being, it’s about realizing that commitment is the key to achieve any serious goal in life, that discipline is the key to success in accomplishing our goals, that good communication skills go beyond respecting their martial arts teachers and training partners, it goes into treating other family members, including parents, siblings and everyone they come across in life with respect.  These pillars provide our students the foundation to achieve success later on in life, and 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts Black Belt program is exactly about these points mentioned above.  

We have an evaluation program to asses the student, how we relate to each other and the parents, and determine if the student is ready to commit to our Black Belt system.

Our belt system begins with the white belt and goes all the way to black belt.  All in all we have 16 belt levels from white to black.  

As mentioned earlier, 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts contain the 5 Elements, and each Element has different belt levels.

Earth Element:  Our students begin with the white belt and they advance within the Earth Element as follows: white, white/yellow, yellow, yellow/orange. They develop a solid foundation in their skills on the mat. The character development trait in this stage is to show them how to believe in themselves though good attitude, good communication skills, discipline, commitment and good behavior.

Water Element: The belts are orange, orange/green, green, green/blue.  We expect our students to begin their in-depth journey in terms of skills and applications for self-defense, as well as developing tremendous agility and reflexes.  The character development trait is establishing respect with others as well as respecting themselves.

Fire Element: The belts in this stage are blue, blue/purple, purple.  We introduce our students to actual combat in a safe and controlled approach.  They develop the ability of desensitize from getting hit, and learn not to “freeze”.  Their stamina, endurance and agility will be highly developed at this stage.  The character development traits will be those of being intelligent yet fearless, self-confident young boys and girls, and leadership skills at different levels including the opportunity to become intern instructor at 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts. 

Wind Element: The belts are red, red/brown and brown.  Combat application mastery both from striking and clinch phase.  In addition our students will develop the skills to neutralize modern day weapons; gun and knife.  In a safe and systematic approach, they will develop the skills to understand the risks involved with these modern day weapons and learn to survive a potential attack by both psychological approach and technical methods.  The character development trait at this stage is self-mastery, both at the emotional and physical levels.  Our senior students will be ready to become a leader in the particular field of choice.

Space Element: The belts are brown/black and black.

We require a commitment to become a Black Belt after our first year of training your child.  At this point we, you as parents and us as their mentors and teachers, will decide if your child is ready to embark in a leadership journey that will propel them to greatness, regardless of the field they end up pursuing in their lives. 

Our Black Belts will be absolutely equipped to be leaders in whatever field they choose to embark on as they become adults.  

In addition, their skills on the mat will be outstanding: They will be completely competent at striking and grappling, and be proficient at every stage of empty hand combat.  Striking, clinch and ground.  In addition, 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts Black Belt curriculum includes learning to defend against knife and gun, the modern weapons utilized nowadays, so in case they ever need to defend themselves against these current methods of attack and intimidation, they are ready for them.

As they progress through our belt system, we expect them to learn how to spar against similar size training partners, so they fully understand the application of the techniques they learn, and what it takes to become really good as a martial artist.  

We also offer 5 Elements Kids BJJ/Jiu-Jitsu program, where our students learn this specific craft (BJJ is the art of grappling), and are offered the opportunity to compete if they desire to pursue that path.  5 Elements Kids BJJ follows the IBJJF belt grading system (this belt system is different than our 5 Elements Kids Martial Arts) in order to have our competition students matched fairly with other competitors,  Also, in case they want to become a black belt one day in BJJ (no black belts are granted in BJJ for kids), they can transition to the BJJ adult belt system.
