Little Dragons – ages 5 – 6 yrs.
Benefits to the Little Dragons Program:
The Little Dragons program is skill based, focusing on the introduction to basic physical motor skills, and mental development.
It is the only solid pre-school program that generates so many benefits for children.
The class is structured to motivate children, while at the same time teaching the values of the Martial arts. We accomplish this through positive reinforcement and praise in the class room. The curriculum is designed to be fun and informative. Dragons learn at a pace they can comprehend, through drills and lessons, which make the classes very enjoyable for them.
Retention rates are higher for children who participate in the Little Dragons program. Children who move from the Dragons to Kids program are more skilled and have a better base than average child.
