ATHLETES three to six years old love physical activity and anything involving play. They have a rich imagination and a strong desire to be less dependent on their usual caregivers. Many children at this age have a hard time with structure in a group environment, like what is commonly found in most martial arts schools. It targets their stage of development and adapts to their social and intellectual curiosity. At the same time, fine and gross motor skills, focus, attention, and perseverance are further developed.

They are so progressive in following tasks, and some teachers tend to treat them like their older peers.
