Martial Posture Studio

Bear Cubs (Kids 4yrs – 7yrs)

Martial Posture Won BEST OF PHILLY 2005 from Philadelphia Magazine for our outstanding programs

Bear Cub Basics
Belt levels: white, white/gold, white/orange
Program Length: 3 to 6 months
Research tells us that a child's personality is formed by seven years of age. The Bear Cubs Basics Program is designed to help young students understand the underlying foundation of martial arts. It is focused more on developing the mind and spirit of the students to better prepare them for a future of advanced martial arts training and for life in general. Our professional staff will work with students to develop physical skills such as strength, flexibility, coordination, and agility, but, more importantly, we will teach them that a martial artist must have focus, respect, courtesy, compassion, kindness and drive in order to achieve his/her goals. They will learn drills and exercises that will condition their minds and bodies and will have fun doing it.

Bear Cub Advanced
Belt levels: white/purple, white/blue, white/green, white/red
Program Length: 12 months
This level is designed for students that have a firm hold on the curriculum of the Level 1 Bear Cubs program. Levels 2 and 3 are designed to prepare students to graduate into the Black Belt Training Program, which is a program designed for children interested in pursuing the rank of Junior Black Belt. The physical aspects of the curriculum will be more emphasized than in level 1. The level of complexity and sophistication will be higher and the children will be expected to behave with a higher level of maturity. The classes are a bit longer and it is treated as “black belt training prep school”.
