Little Ninja is Guy's Karate School's martial arts program specifically designed for children aged 3-4 years.
At this age, children are developing rapidly. They are becoming more independent, learning to follow instructions and discovering how to interact within a structured group environment.
Our Little Ninja program combines martial arts fundamentals with games, movement and age-appropriate activities to make learning exciting while building the foundations for future karate training.
Who Is Little Ninja For?
Little Ninja is designed for 3 and 4-year-old children. It is ideal for preschoolers who are ready for a little more structure and independence than our Tiny Tigers program.
Whether your child has previously participated in Tiny Tigers or is completely new to martial arts, they can start Little Ninja with us.
What Will They Learn?
Little Ninja introduces children to the foundations of karate while continuing to develop important physical and personal skills. Children will work on:
The goal isn't simply to teach children karate. It is to help them become more confident, capable and focused young people.
What Happens in a Little Ninja Class?
Classes are structured but fun. Children participate in a combination of karate activities, movement exercises, games, drills and instructor-led activities.
They may practise basic punches and kicks, movement patterns, balance exercises, coordination activities and simple karate combinations. We also introduce children to the routines and expectations of a martial arts class, helping them learn how to listen, take turns and participate respectfully.

Our instructors work with each child according to their individual ability and stage of development.
What Happens After They Join?
Once your child joins Little Ninja, they have a clear pathway through our junior martial arts programs. As they grow and develop, they can progress into Little Samurai, then Karate Kids, and eventually our Senior Karate program.
Their skills, confidence and knowledge develop alongside them.
