Mini-Ninjas - Major Fun on a Serious Note



The Mini-Ninja program at Bendell Karate was started by Mrs. Bendell in the early 1990's and was was the first program in southern Colorado for pre-school karate students.

 

It has since been copied by many of our competitors. Three, Four, and Five year-olds attend one thirty-minute class per week (at a cost that works out to $25 per month) and learn the basics of what we teach in a less-structured, fun atmosphere. When learning how to step forward in a front stance, for example, they think they are learning how to walk like a dinosaur.


Mrs. Bendell has several helpers with the program, including black belts Trudy Carroll and Amy Cullen.



The first graduate of Bendell Karate's Mini-Ninja program to reach black belt was Michael Martinez, of Florence, CO, has a second degree junior black belt, and has grown up and is now a
teen-ager. Michael is a two-time United States champion and five-times Colorado State champion, and is on the Gold Honor Roll at school.
