Kids Fitness and Self Defense Classes in Woodbury

From Litchfield Performing Arts, Inc.: Monkey Bar Gym (MBG), Woodbury introduces two new programs for children at their Woodbury facility at 125 Main Street North, just behind New Morning Market.

The MBG Kids Fitness program will run for 6 weeks, starting Saturday, February 17 from 11 AM – Noon. Like adults, it is important for children to exercise regularly. Not only does it instill healthy habits for the future, regular exercise helps develop muscle strength and coordination, builds strong bones, and improves their cardiovascular capacity. In the MBG Kids fitness program, children develop a healthy mindset through FUN, structured activities that maximize the use of their agility, strength, and coordination. Obstacle courses, games, and body-weight exercises developed for children, keep kids moving and engaged. Ages 7–12, $75.

Children’s Self-Defense classes, offered through Defensive Fighting Systems (DFS) will run every month, beginning February 1st. The program is based on the combat system of Krav Maga. Krav Maga is not a marital art and is considered by many to be the best system for realistic street self-defense. The goal of our children’s self-defense program is to empower kids in our community, providing them with skills and confidence to protect themselves, while building both physical and mental strength. Ages 7–12, $50/month.

Date: Classes begin February 2018

Times:

• Kids Fitness: Saturdays, February 17 – March 24 - 11 AM – NOON
