4-6 year olds definately can handle good blocking reaction drills, combination pad work, stepping-sliding kicks, jumping kicks, and can learn gross motor movement matwork such as bridging and basic takedowns.
Trick is in making it fun and disguising the repetitiveness of training.
I just leave out the complex Karate forms for this age and keep the classes shorter than the older kids classes.
