Teaching the values of life to your children

Your step by step guide to the Kan- Du Human Values Based Martial Arts Program

On a weekly basis your students will be led through a new human value consisting of two parts. The first part of the program is taught in the classroom with the students engaged and supported in a fun discussion and role-play with the Kan – Du instructor and the class teacher. The second part is the Martial arts based program where the children are taught very basic age specific techniques and activities to reinforce the value for that week.

The introductory class consists of a general welcome and overview of what will be taught to the students throughout their term based program. Students will be presented with their student cards and the accompanying responsibilities explained to them. Students will be also shown examples of the weekly certificates awarded for attendance and participation, along with the end of term certificate of achievement awarded for successful completion of the Kan-Du Human Values Based Martial Arts Program. Students are then given a white belt for the duration of the class and instructed on correct procedures for tying the belt and addressing the instructor. The first class will then involve basic instruction of bowing to acknowledge the commencement of class, warm up drills, stances and other fun martial arts based activities. At the completion of the first class will be a confidence building activity. The students will be given a research task relating to a particular human value  in preparation for the second class to begin.

During the second class the teaching of human values commences.

During the first part of the program the Kan-Du instructor will ask the students about the research task given relating to the weekly value being taught. The student’s examples will be written on the board and will be used to engage students in a fun and supportive open discussion including visual role-plays, which truly encapsulate the student’s attention. This role-play is performed in the classroom using the students, teacher/s and your Kan-Du instructor.  The teacher will be asked to leave the students examples on the board for the week to reinforce the value and what it means to them.

The second part of the session is the physical side of the non-contact martial arts where students are each given a white belt to wear for the duration of the class. The students are given basic instruction on forms of non-contact martial arts learning age specific skills that will help with co-ordination, balance and memory. Using the values being taught in the first sessions eg Respect, Attitude, Listening, Determination etc various drills and activities will be taught reinforcing that week’s human value with continual praise for a job well done. Each class will conclude on a positive note with a confidence building activity.

For a student to pass the weekly human value they must, attend each class with their student card and be involved in the value discussion for that week. They must then participate in the non-contact martial arts form to reinforce their learning. The students need to participate in both aspects of the program every session showing the Kan-Du instructor they are trying their best and have a good understanding of the value being taught. Upon completion of each class your student will receive a weekly certificate. Upon completion of the full term based Kan-Du program there will be a Kan-Du Human values based martial arts grading where students will be evaluated and awarded with a “Kan-Du” certificate of achievement along with a  Blue, Jnr first level martial arts belt for them to keep as a reminder of their accomplishments in the Kan-Du program.
