This program was developed specifically for children new to Combatives. Our Beginner Combatives program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as fairness, responsibility, respect and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children’s motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. This program is the first step in conjunction with the Mat Journal Achievement Program, thereby emphasizing the same important principles of Physical, Mental & Technical skills that are synonymous with all our programs.
