Q: What is the FOCUS of Milestone’s Mini Champions program?

A: A martial arts-based program focused on psychomotor development of toddlers between 2 and 3. Our method relies on extensive scientific support (article link) to meet the common needs of contemporary families. Our curriculum was designed to help toddlers develop essential motor and psychological skills such as self-confidence, discipline, self-control, physical fitness, pro-social behavior, and mental strength.

​

Q: Which MARTIAL ARTS STYLES does Milestone offer for toddlers?

A: To give your child a well-rounded martial arts experience and prevent the pitfalls of early specialization, our curriculum was developed as a hybrid of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Muay Thai. In full disclosure, our program focuses on grappling (Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) primarily.

​

Q: What are the AGES for the Mini Champions program?

A: The Mini Champions is a program designed for toddlers 2-3 years old.  In addition to Mini Champions, we offer four age groups to respect the different developmental stages of our students. Tiny Champions include children from 4 to 6, Little Champions from 7 to 9, Junior Champions from 10 to 12, and Teens from 13-16 .​

​

Q: HOW MANY SENSEIS will be teaching the class?

A: As a Parent & Me class, there will be one Sensei leading the classes.

​

Q: WHICH DAY and TIME will my child attend classes?

A: Mini Champions will practice on Thursdays at 10 am.

 

Q: HOW LONG are the classes?

A: 40 minutes.

​

Q: How long is each SEASON?

A: We work with three 15-week long seasons each year, making it easier for families to plan their schedules. In addition to providing children with a shorter-term goal, this approach also allows us to ensure the proper progression of the curriculum. It is also less intimidating for kids to know that they are not the only ones having their first day of practice. Each season culminates in a level promotion, providing a clear goal for students to work towards.

​

Q: Is there a MINIMUM ATTENDANCE required to graduate?

A: Yes. Mini Champions must attend a minimum of 12 classes during a season to successfully complete a season. We understand that life happens and sometimes things may not go as planned. For that reason, we offer 30-minute make-up classes for Mini Champions for $35 to keep them current with the attendance requirements. 

 

Q: Can my child do a TRIAL?

A: To ensure that our enrolled students receive the attention they deserve, we don't schedule trial classes for our kids' program. However, our program is backed by a 3-week money-back guarantee (excluding uniform) in case your child doesn't like the program. We encourage children and parents to watch one or two classes before deciding. 

​

Q: How much will my INVESTMENT be?

A: We offer two payment options: weekly or paid in full. Weekly payments are currently $35 for a 15-week commitment. The paid-in-full option is currently $450. The uniform kit (Gi pants and t-shirt) is $50. Each additional child receives a discount, making the weekly payment $30 and the paid-in-full $375.

​​​

Q: Is there any other FEE I should prepare for?

A: There is no additional fee other than the membership and uniform for the Mini Champions program.

​

Q: When can I ENROLL my child?

A: To secure the proper progression of the curriculum and the continuity of classes, we offer three enrollment periods per year: April, August, and December. Due to high demands and limited slots, if you are interested in enrolling your child, please complete the pre-registration form for your child to be added to the waiting list for the upcoming season. We will contact you during open enrollment and offer you a first right of refusal.
