At Leicester PKA, the Little Ninjas program helps young members develop essential skills while having fun. Our belt system encourages progress, teaching life lessons like focus, discipline, and teamwork.
How It Works
After every class, Little Ninjas can earn a skill stripe by mastering specific techniques or qualities. Each stripe represents a vital skill. Once your child earns all eight stripes, they qualify for their next belt level!
Skill Stripes and Their Meanings
Each stripe represents an important skill your child will develop:
- Focus – Red Stripe
Learning to concentrate and stay engaged during activities. - Teamwork – Blue Stripe
Understanding how to work collaboratively and support teammates. - Control – Green Stripe
Practicing self-control and managing emotions. - Memory – Green/Yellow Stripe
Strengthening the ability to remember techniques and routines. - Discipline – White Stripe
Developing respect for rules and a sense of responsibility. - Fitness – Black Stripe
Building strength, stamina, and overall health through exercise. - Coordination – Brown Stripe
Enhancing motor skills and movement precision. - Balance – Yellow Stripe
Improving stability and body awareness.
Belts and Certificates
Once all eight stripes are earned, your Little Ninja is ready to advance to the next belt level! Belts and certificates can be purchased at the club for £10, providing your child with a tangible reward for their hard work and dedication.
Our belt system motivates kids to set goals and celebrate their achievements. Encourage your Little Ninja to keep striving for their next stripe as they build confidence, discipline, and physical fitness.
