Little Dragons Progam: ages 3 - 6
The Little Dragons program was designed specifically for children ages 3 - 6 years old. In the Little Dragons Program, your child will learn and grow in a process that accommodates their skills and abilities. They will train with other children in their age group, and will not be distracted by younger or older classmates. Their training will not be slowed down due to the learning abilities of a younger child; and it will not be sped up to keep up with the capabilities of a pre-teen. This means better, more functional classes designed just for them. Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more special they feel, the harder they will try.
The Little Dragons Program is structured on a rotational curriculum that teaches 8 very important skills. The 8 advanced skills selected for the Kids program were broken down into specific requirements that each student will tackle at every belt level. This means your child will be sharper, more focused, and better developed physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially than a child who does not participate in a program strategically designed like the Kids Program.

Martial Arts is great for children
A psychological study found that children in martial arts have an increased sense of responsibility., a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks, and a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents are using martial arts to supplement their childrens education.

The belt system is the key to building esteem. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.
Our Program teaches children discipline

Our activities channel childrens aggression
Many doctors have prescribed our school because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.
Our program teaches children essential self defense skills
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they dont go home and try them on their family members or neighbors.
