We taught the same material to both but age is sometimes a factor in advancement. Only rank determines the difference, sometimes material becomes more advanced at later ranks. The exception to this are moves that are meant for killing.

I should mention that I rarely teach children under the age of 9. My choice because i am not a kindergarden teacher and want them to be some what disaplained befor they come to me. i do not have the time to stop every few minutes to find out what little jonny is doing when he should be doing self defence or forms.
I do insist that they learn the forms of our system but do not push them to learn more and more till they can do the first one correctly. I do teach then basic blocks and strikes a long with basic kicks. I do insist that they learn the protacol of the school.
