Chuntian Academy International

This is a combined English language and Self-defense program for children.

In Japan crimes against children are increasing, as well as stress and bullying in schools. Also children are often left alone after school or play outside with out adult supervision. For these reasons Chuntian Academy has started a professional highly effective American experienced based Children's Program in addition to our already established Adult program.
The children's program will mix English and practical self defense, The program will promote discipline, courtesy, character, coordination, confidence, strength, flexibility, stress release, relaxation, self defense, and of course English conversation. This will be achieved through special designated classes, seminars, self defense training, exercises, games etc.
