The Little Dragons programme is a revolutionary way of teaching 4-7 year olds, using martial arts as a training platform. It has been designed to stimulate and engage the children, helping them to learn whilst having FUN!
I guarantee you that Little Dragons is fun for your little ones as well as educational. By coming along you will take the first step in giving your child that chance to supplement their education, and teach them many valuable life skills.
Our class numbers, unlike others, are limited to ensure quality learning and instruction. During their time with us, we focus on different learning themes, such as
• Balance
• Coordination
• Concentration & Focus
• Dealing with Strangers
• Team work
• Emergency Skills etc
• Discipline
There are 9 different coloured belts to collect, which will be given out on grading days, starting from white belt and culminating in the Little Dragon Black Belt. These awards will help to keep your child motivated, and help to improve their confidence and self esteem.
As well as the above themes, your child will also be learning about discipline, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, indomitable spirit, self-control and much more. They will be training their mind, as well as their body, encouraging them to grow into active and healthy youngsters.
Around the age of seven they are promoted up to our junior Taekwon-Do classes, where they will then start more specific training towards a Black Belt in Taekwon-Do.
Little Dragons is full of value, and is a must for children in today's society. Give them the best start in life and enrol now.
