Our focus is to help children, of all ages and abilities, to learn and grow in a fun, safe and supportive environment. They will learn martial arts skills at an age appropriate level but most importantly, they will learn discipline, respect, self control and self-confidence.
DRAGONS
Our Dragon program is designed for 3-6 year olds. It focuses on teaching body mechanics, self-control, awareness and basic martial arts skills. Character development is achieved with the use of ‘tip tape,’ where color coded awards are given each week for each of the attributes that the child demonstrates. These are Effort, Etiquette, Self-control, Sincerity, and Character.
JUNIORS
This Program is designed for 7-11 year olds. While still focused on character development skills, we begin to increase the emphasis on physical fitness and self defense. This means not only knowing how to defend oneself, but also how to prevent or potentially escape from physical confrontation.
TEENS
The teen program is for 11– 17 year olds. It focuses on developing the individual for life outside the dojo. Setting and attaining goals is emphasized, as is accepting personal responsibility. Martial arts prowess is redefined, as expectations are increased and many different self-defense situations are introduced.
