Classes Ages 11-14: Junior Program
Specifically designed for young adults, ages 11 to 14, the Junior Program is divided into three skill levels, all training on different days of the week. See the Junior Schedule below. This division helps to ensure that our students learn alongside other students at their level and the high instructor-to-student ratio ensures that students receive the support they require to excel.
The age-specific curriculum lays the foundation to learn kung-fu, emphasizing values such as respect, discipline and hard work. As students progress through the Junior Program, they experience the benefits of their hard work, such as achieving their next rank, improved listening skills resulting in higher grades, and building friendships with others.
Beginner Schedule – Ages 11-14: Junior
| Day | Level | Time |
| Mon | NOVICE I | 6:30 – 7:30pm |
| Thu | NOVICE I | 6:30 – 7:30pm |
(Juniors train 2-times per week. Although not advisable, upon request, 1-time per week may be arranged on a temporary basis for these programs. See all available WKFA classes on the Full Class Schedule.)

An Overview of Various Martial Arts
One thing to be mindful of is not falling into the trap of thinking “my martial art is better than yours.” It is important to be respectful of all other martial art forms and their practitioners. I thought it might be interesting to compare some of the styles that developed as a result.

Strength Training for Junior Students
Hopefully as Junior students at the WKFA you’ve come to realize there are benefits to training Kung Fu beyond learning fun new things like Forms, kicking sequences and blocks. You should also have noticed an increase in your cardio-vascular fitness, flexibility and strength. While we encourage you to train all aspects of Kung Fu outside of class, it’s important to be careful—especially when it comes to strength training.
