Mini Ninjas: Reception to Year 2
Mini Ninjas at ZKS Martial Arts is for Reception to Year 2, with classes in Aylesbury and Watford. Younger primary-school children learn through clear instructions, repetition and active practice. School stage is the main guide; children searching for classes at ages five, six or seven should check their current year group.
What students learn
Movement, stance, guard, simple punches and kicks introduce striking. Safe falling, rolling and basic ground positions introduce grappling. Students practise controlled movement and simple self-defence tasks through the training year.
What a normal lesson involves
A warm-up and movement activities lead into demonstrations and short practice tasks. Children learn to listen, take turns and work with others under supervision. Repeating core skills makes each lesson familiar while offering a manageable challenge.
Progress and the next stage
Students receive feedback as they practise. ZKS Reviews and belt progression follow the current Review guide; buying a membership does not itself make a student eligible. The moving-up guide explains the next programme.

Aylesbury martial arts classes include ZKS Martial Arts HQ at 111–113 Cambridge Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. See our Watford classes at Nascot Wood Junior School too. Use the current timetable for the sessions and places available in this programme.
