focus and emotional control in a fun, educational setting Does your 4- to 6-year old need to learn self-discipline and emotional control?
At times, it can be easy for teachers and parents to overestimate 4- to 6-year old kids. They’re better at following instructions and paying attention than toddlers, but these kids still may need some help in controlling themselves and focusing on tasks.

FROM SA BUM NIM
I’m Michael Sentilles, Head Master Instructor (or, in Korean, Sa Bum Nim) at Yonsei Martial Arts Academy.
As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids and a father of four, there is nothing better than watching our students grow firsthand. But more important than the martial arts skills they learn here at Yonsei are the personal skills they develop and carry for life.
Martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching and getting the next colorful belt. It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect. With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and spirit.
That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect.
And of course it’s a ton of fun!
That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in our community, and why I know your kids are going to love training with us!
Take a look below to find out exactly how your kids can benefit from our fun martial arts classes.
Thank you, or as we teach our students in Korean, gahm sa hab ni da!
NEED HELP IN ANY OF THESE AREAS?
They have trouble focusing and don’t look at you when you speak to them.
They get angry easily and small things may cause them to lose control.
They lack the discipline to follow through on tasks without being reminded.
PARENTING A CHILD IS HARDER THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT
Kids that are four- to six-years old have slightly more control than younger kids, but they still have a lot to learn when it comes to controlling themselves, their bodies, and their emotions. They’re intellectually curious, but they need to learn in a disciplined setting.
Our Little Eagles program gives our students the tools they need to succeed later in life. They learn the importance of self-discipline and control while building on the basic martial arts skills. With our exclusive SKILLZ® Worldwide membership, we help younger students focus on eight key skills: focus, teamwork, control, memory, balance, discipline, fitness, and coordination.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Our Little Eagles program with exclusive, age-appropriate SKILLZ® Worldwide curriculum teaches kids to control their bodies and behavior in a fun, social environment that encourages cooperation and respect. Our students learn about teamwork, discipline, memory, and balance while practicing coordination and learning key martial arts moves.
PHYSICAL FITNESS AND BALANCE
When they are young, kids may struggle to control their bodies when they’re in motion.
The basic martial arts skills taught in our Little Eagles program help them build muscle and improve their coordination, a key Basic SKILLZ® skill.
COMPLEX MEMORY SKILLS
At this age, children easily forget strings of more than three commands. They may also be unable to tell their left from their right.
Our Little Eagles program teaches them to focus on complex instructions and to know how to follow left and right commands without hesitation. The Basic SKILLZ® curriculum incorporated within our Little Eagles program targets focus and memory in kids between the ages of four and six through fun games and physical acitvity.
STAY IN CONTROL
Four- to six-year old kids tend to lose focus when they’re excited – and to shut down when they’re sad or scared.
In our Little Eagles program, our students are taught to maintain control even when they are excited – and to stay focused even when it is difficult to do so. We teach discipline and control in our Basic SKILLZ® curriculum by engaging our students in drills that challenge their mind.
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Young kids tend to be competitive – and they don’t handle losing very well.
The Basic SKILLZ® curriculum counteracts this negative group cooperation by highlighting teamwork in our classes. In our program, students learn how to be good competitors, and that includes learning how to accept defeat gracefully and be supportive of their peers.

There are so many great things about Yonsei! The one that I love the most is the feeling we get each time we attend. They treat you like family! I can see a difference in my son after every visit! They encourage him to never give up and they teach him respect. What more could we ask for right! Stop by and see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
