When Motivation Is Gone
There comes a time when everyone will lose the motivation to do something they need to do. Whether it is going to work, exercising or just making dinner, sometimes we just don’t want to do it! The same thing can happen to your child regarding their Kung Fu training.
Moving on Up: When Kids Change Programs
WKFA has four different programs, each designed for a specific age range; however it is not necessary to move to the next program immediately after your child’s birthday.
Eating and Kung Fu
It is never a good sign when your child stops in the middle of a Kung-Fu class because they’ve developed a cramp. This is often due to food, both what was eaten, when they ate it, and how much.

Kwoon Rules For Parents
At the Waterloo Kung-Fu Academy your child has certain Rules and Etiquette they are expected to follow. There are also rules that we want parents to follow.
Grading Time
There is never an expectation for anyone to grade. If your child doesn’t feel they’re ready, there is no issue with them staying at their current rank and gaining more confidence in their techniques. So how do you know when your child is ready to grade?
Keeping Kids Motivated During Summer Vacation
For kids, summer means relaxing and perhaps a vacation. However, that doesn’t mean that they need to take a break from their Kung Fu training!

Self-Defense
Let’s have a look at the fourth pillar of our curriculum, self-defense.
Technique
In many ways Technique is the most fundamental component of what we teach at WKFA.
Sparring
Sparring is an important part of your child’s Kung Fu journey and will help them develop skill, endurance and confidence.
