COBRA KIDS PROGRAMME

Young children need to be encouraged and rewarded as they learn their chosen Art. The Art must also be kept interesting for them with set goals that they can aim for. The C.M.A.A. “Cobra Kids” Programme does just this as well as contributing towards their Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) and preparing them for our
Martial Arts Instructor UK training programme which they can take part in from 11 years old as Cadet Leaders.

Part 1: Gradings

Normally gradings are held every 3 to 6 months where Students demonstrate their knowledge of their next grade in order to progress forward. With “Cobra Kids” the clubs existing syllabus is split into 3 sections per grade whereby the Child is tested every month on each section before moving to the next. As such the belt system is slightly different.  
Section 1 Pass = Coloured Belt, Section 2 Pass = 1 Black Tab on Belt, Section 3 Passed = 2 Black Tabs on Belt as shown in the image below.
Once a Student has 2 tabs they then move onto learning the next Grade.

Doing this gives them to opportunity to advance every month or so rather than making them wait the standard time which can result in them getting bored. Although they do not move through the ranks any faster than the Juniors or Adults nor is the Syllabus “watered down” in any way.

When they reach the age of 13 they can then be graded via the normal time scale. Cobra Kids grade example: -
Badge: £4.00
Customized Grading Certificate
displaying the Club name and Logo.
Instructors Manual: £10.00
Proficiency Badges.
Bronze, Silver, Gold: £2.50 each.
Proficiency Certificates
