that sounds about right. Break up the curriculum into smaller bite-sized peices.
I do something similar; The kids learn the same forms requirements-which I have downsized considerably-not into forms collecting. The more complicated and dangerous self-defense techniques are for adults only. It's only a few per rank, so when they reach proper age, it only takes a few months to catch up.
