Tumble Bugs
Gymnastics Starts Here
The TumbleBugs Program is for children ages 18 months to 5 years.
In Me and My Buddy classes children can begin as young as 18 months, side by side with a parent, to enjoy being in the gym. Parents and tots together work on following the coaches instructions and activity circuits.
Three year olds attend class with a coach as they focus more on listening skills and following directions while they are kept moving.
Four year olds follow an age appropriate curriculum which means that they get a little more skill specific while still working on social interaction.
The Five year old class is even more skill oriented and less 'general movement'. Kids will learn to cooperate and work together.
The emphasis is on learning as well as FUN! Our highly trained staff will focus on developing balance, coordination, muscle development, and locomotor skills.
But wait, it gets better!
Not only will your child benefit physically, but with our creative and colorful lesson plans students will learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and much, much more.
Me and My Buddy classes are 45 minutes long andTumbleBug classes run 50 minutes in length, both meet once a week.
Tumble Bugs (2008/2009 Schedule)
ME AND MY BUDDY - 18 months to 3 years old
This exciting class involves parent supervision and direction. Parents will help their children move through circuits, follow directions and increase their social interaction at their own individual pace.
TUMBLEBUGS - Preschool 3 to 5 years old
This class is for children that can function independently from their parents. Activities include the same equipment as the Me/Buddy class, however more skills are introduced and a greater focus is placed on basic gymnastics.

Level 1- Less than 1 full year of previous gymnastics (6-8 year olds only)
Level 2- More than 1 full year of previous gymnastics, excluding preschool classes
Level 3- Two full years of previous gymnastics
Level 4- Must be 8 or older and have 3 full years of gymnastics

Ages to Start
What is a good age to start?
Our Kids San Yun Do classes start around ages 8-10.
Some kids may start younger with Instructor approval.
Martial arts trainging involves many little steps or progressions. As you advance in our martial art programs, the feeling of accomplishment comes from added confidence. This is especially beneficial for children who may need a boost.
An increase in self confidence for kids (as well as adults) will have beneficial effects in other areas of life.
Martial arts training has so many great benefits covering physical, mental and emotional aspects that it’s no wonder why it has become one of the most popular activities for both adults and children.
Benefits to Martial Arts
Why practice Martial Arts?
Practicing martial arts has amazing side effects. Here are just a few of them:
Physical:
Improves Cardio fitness
Better muscle tone
Weight loss
Improves coordination, balance, and reaction time, speed, endurance, timing
Improves over all health
Improves agility
Improves efficiency of motion
Mental:
Improves the ability to stay focused under pressure
Improves confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-control
San Yun Do Translates to Tri-Harmony Way or The Way of Three Harmonies. The three harmonies we refer to can manifest in several ways: Mind/Body/Spirit, Breath/Motion/Structure, Base/Angle/Leverage, etc. When all three are working together, it can be magic...Imagination In Motion!
The result of a combined 32 years experience studying many different arts, San Yun Do (SYD) is dedicated to taking care of yourself in today's world against today's dangers. At SYD's core is a simple, practical, easily learned teaching methodology designed to instill in new students efficient body mechanics, movement, awareness of surroundings, and creative thinking under pressure.
For the experienced martial artist, SYD offers a fresh perspective that allows the practitioner to look at all previous training and see how the seemingly disparate techniques and concepts can bridged together to create a wholly new perspective.
Kids San Yun Do (KSYD)
KSYD is our Family Program. This is verysimilar to the SYD...with the difference being the focus on Artistic Expression and Conditioning rather than Combat. Students learn the creative side of Martial Arts, exploring such things as show choreography, acrobatics, strength and flexibility training, working cooperatively with each other.
