Yes. Lots of our students started out nervous, and Lee was a very shy child himself. We give kids clear, simple rules and celebrate every small win, so they quickly know what to expect and feel good about getting it right. Many children aren’t really low in confidence; they just haven’t had enough good experiences in new places yet. Parents are welcome to watch while their child settles in. Read our guide to helping a shy child build confidence.

Kids work through a belt system, with gradings during the year where they show what they’ve learned in front of their family. Along the way they earn skill tags for mastering techniques and combinations, so there’s always a next goal to work towards, all the way to black belt.
