Ninja Kids was created while Paul Teleki was working toward his NCCP1 and NCCP2 (National Coaching Certification) and grading for his blackbelt in Judo. While training for Judo in Japan, Teleki noticed that students of all ages as young as 2 years old, practiced on the mats. Upon returning, Judoka start later in life, potentially reducing our ability to get on the podium on the world stage. Ninja Kids creates a bridge between these toddler years and competitive Judoka who eventually reach the podium! Most importantly, the birth of my son Orion in Dec. 2013 inspired my desire to enable other children with the same skills around safety, confidence and respect for others.
Philosophy
Ninja Kids guiding principles are: safety, confidence, and respect. It is a non-contact open-hand physical activity (never making fists) which focuses on helping children protect their body when falling, improve their physical abilities, and help others stay safe. Most of Teleki’s training is in Judo, which is translated to the Gentle-Way (Ju=Gentle, do=Way) and Jodo (using the staff to defend against sword). Ukemi (receiving gravity) is the first thing you learn in Judo, and it also carries with it principles of respect, mutual welfare, balance, and intentionality. These experiences have led to the founding principles of Ninja Kids.
Curriculum
Ninja Kids is rewards-based where students will be given a variety of activities to accomplish. The rewards will include stickers which kids can take home and place on their Ninja Kids poster and the enjoyment one gets when completing a challenge. Once a child completes their sticker collection, they can proceed to the next level in Ninja Kids which will eventually lead to their graduation and ceremony. Kids will learn to speak Japanese during class. Sensei Teleki can speak French, Hungarian, Japanese and English. Each class begins with warm-up and stretching while proceeding into physical activities that promote safety, building confidence and respect for others. Throughout the class, there will be spontaneous games, challenges, and stretching activities. Integrated in each activity will include respect for others.
Acknowledgement:
I could not run these classes without some key people. I would like to thank Sensei Tomoyoshi Hino for allowing the Ninja Kids to borrow his amazing mats when the program started, his first aid kit, and picture of Kano Sensei. With his teachings and inspiration, the Ninja Kids program was enabled to begin. I would like to thank my beautiful wife Elizabeth for her support and sharpening my delivery of Ninja Kids. I would like to thank the team (especially Candace Buchanan) at the Wellness Centre for handling registration. And thanks to the parents and children who have the patience to learn the fundamentals of safety, confidence, and respect.
