Youngsters earn next rank belts in Rutherford
TheDOJO, in Rutherford, continues to unleash human potential as evidenced in the recent children’s martial arts program belt test in which 25 4- to 6-year-olds were awarded their next rank belts. As part of their belt test training, the students were taught a robust, interactive curriculum covering topics such as fire safety and prevention and personal hygiene self-defense. But passing the belt test also requires some very impressive and measurable physical achievements: In the last eight weeks, the 4- to 6-year-olds each did more than 150 pushups and sit-ups. They also mastered self-defense techniques in the context of lessons concerning bullies and stranger danger. They learned how to punch, block and kick in order to protect themselves and in order to strengthen their bodies and their minds. Accordingly, they also learned about health and proper nutrition. Most of the youngest students also participated in an annual food drive which was completed in August. At TheDOJO, martial arts education is comprised of an intelligent curriculum specializing in wellness of the whole person: body, mind and spirit.
