MARTIAL ARTS FOR EARLY LEARNING CENTRES
Building Confidence and Resilience
At Yogamigos, we are passionate about promoting health and wellbeing in Early Learning Centres and Daycare Centres through our engaging martial arts incursions. With years of experience working with ELCs across Australia, our early learning martial arts programs are play-based and designed for young learners. These sessions incorporate a blend of energetic games, basic martial arts moves, music, creative action, focusing techniques, and simple breathing exercises to help children develop coordination, discipline, and confidence.



What Is a Kids' Martial Arts Program?
Our childcare martial arts incursion is a fun, inclusive, and non-competitive program designed to introduce and engage kids in accessible martial arts movements and focus techniques. With ELC programs, we typically divide the group into age categories (e.g., 2-3 years old and 4-5 years old) and run two 30-minute classes for each group.
​
Benefits of Early Learning Martial Arts Programs
​Students aged 1 to 5 undergo significant physical and cognitive changes, and our martial arts programs have far-reaching positive effects on their health and wellbeing:

Feeling Strong and Brave: Joining in makes us feel good about ourselves and brave to try new moves!

Knowing My Body and Yours: We learn about our bodies and how to move and play respectfully with our friends.

Focused Fun: We do energetic activities to help our bodies and minds feel focused and ready to learn.
