Programs for Children/Youth/Adult
Lil Dragons Program (Ages 4-6)
The Lil Dragons martial arts program is designed for children ages 4-6. These classes are specifically designed to
teach children physical fitness, safety skills, and life skills. During classes, students work on skills and drills in a fun rewarding
environment with positive reinforcement. The Lil' Dragons program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities
such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children's motor skills and enhance their
ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods
available for this age group.
The Lil Dragons curriculum helps to develop:
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Spatial skills
• Listening skills
• Focus and concentration
• Memory
• Self control
• Socialization skills
• Self awareness skills
In tandem with developmental skills each child learns:
• Stranger awareness
• Safety 9-1-1
• Bully Busting
• Personal safety skills (such as poison safety, fire safety etc.)
• Tae Kwon Do
• And more!
Youth Martial Arts Program (Ages 7-12):
This program was professionally developed to improve:
- Self-esteem
- Coordination
- Self-discipline
- Personal development
- Fitness and flexibility
- Awareness of surroundings
- Confidence
Additionally, our students are taught to believe in themselves and to focus heart, mind and soul to achieve their personal goals.
We focus on other aspects of our students' lives like studying for success, helping family members by doing chores and helping
siblings with theirs, child safety, and how to deal with the bully on the block, and in school. We have many reward systems in
place to help students focus and meet their personal goals. Each child is placed in an age-specific class so that
we can teach in a manner that is best (and the most fun) for their age group. We teach classes in a friendly, exciting, motivating,
and enjoyable atmosphere while developing discipline and mutual respect. This way, while children enjoy martial arts,
they are also learning valuable life skills that will help them be more successful, confident, and productive individuals.
