2013 LIFE KI-DO KARATE CAMPS

Power Ninja (ages 5-7)  |  Samurai (ages 6-12)  | Advanced (Int-Adv students)

Life Ki-do Karate camps are great fun for kids and a great opportunity to learn martial arts fundamentals as well as valuable personal safety and life skills.

The day includes a fun group warm-up, martial art stations, a personal safety/bully program, and a snack and free time in which campers can choose between a variety of activities including nunchaku practice. The week ends with an inspiring belt ceremony and demonstration for parents.

In Life Ki-do, our goal is to be like a river – strong yet fluid, always flowing and moving around obstacles and always moving towards something greater. It’s an analogy that kids really resonate with since it’s easy to visualize and understand. Throughout camp, we use fun games, exercises and activities to teach the children to be like a river – in the body (fluid movement for a strong, healthy body), in the mind (resilience and flexibility), and in the emotions (self-regulation).

Team Building

We start each day with team building group exercises. These fun exercises ground the kids for the day as well as allow them to meet others and feel comfortable with their new friends, new instructors and new environment. These group exercises focus on strong, fluid movement teaching the kids to connect their body, breath and brain. Through games, the kids also learn how to be sensitive to their environment, how to have strong communication and social skills, and how to use their breath and mind to deal with stress and fear.

Martial Arts

After the big group exercises, we break-up into smaller groups and rotate through martial arts stations. Here the kids learn Life Ki-do Martial Arts fundamentals such as falling and rolling, take downs, punching, blocking and kicking and wrestling. Our instructors specialize in working with children and appropriately adjust the drills to work with students of different ages and skill levels. During this martial arts segment we are always infusing the drills with our life skill system teaching the kids how to develop focus, use their effort to build confidence, bounce back from challenges or setbacks, and develop healthy, positive friendship skills.

Personal Safety/Bully Program

Life Ki-do Karate camps also include an introduction to our personal safety/bully program. Our program includes mental, emotional, and physical safety skills. We also go a little deeper teaching kids to see others as fellow human beings instead of people to compare and compete with. We teach kids how to be at peace with who they are as individuals while at the same time honoring and respecting others for who they are. Children learn how to deal with self-bullying including self-directed negative thoughts, harsh judgments and damaging comparisons to others. They also learn how to respect instead of bully by developing empathy, respect, compassion and care for others.

In the Samurai camps for 1st-6th grades, students have the opportunity to learn leadership skills.
