Lil' Dragons (ages 6-8) is a program is designed to inspire self-esteem in your child while also preparing them with the necessary skills (both physical, mental, and social) to succeed in the Juniors class as well as other sports.
Your child will not only build the fundamental gross motor skills they need for martial arts success; but they will also develop life skills and safety skills to live safely in a sometimes dangerous world. We will teach your child safety skills such as anti-drugs, fire safety, 9-1-1 preparedness, stranger danger, dealing with bullies, anger control, and an appreciation of lifetime health and fitness. Through training drills, games, and obstacles, the Lil’ Dragons learn balance, cooperation, coordination, discipline, and much more!
Kid Tigers (ages 4-5 years) is a fun program designed specifically for pre-schoolers. This program promotes the child's social, emotional, physical and Intellectual growth. With games and exercises we teach them basic self-defense principles and other essential skills to help them excel in all areas of their life. We include lessons in safety and academics as well as physical martial arts skills. We also focus on listening and attention skills, independence, respect, goal setting, and much more.
The Kid Tigers program is designed to lay a solid foundation so that when the students are older and more capable, they can flourish in a more structured environment. Upon graduation from the Kid Tigers program into the Lil'Dragons program they keep the belt rank obtained in the Kid tigers program!
Juniors (ages 9-13) is a reality self defense-based program based on the traditional arts of Japanese Jujutsu combined with the arts of Shotokan Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, and Hapkido. Our instructor base allows us to combine relevant skills from these various martial arts to construct an age-appropriate (yet no-nonsense) approach to personal development and personal defense.
The Juniors will learn things such as character development, manners, and respect. They also learn self-defense and can work on their overall physical fitness. We focus on self defense but also on how to fall safely if pushed. Plus, they will learn how to defend against a knife, a stick, and even against a gun.
Teen/Adult (ages 14 and up) is a program emphasized in reality-based self defense and physical fitness. We focus on learning life-saving skills which can be employed by anyone against grabs, pushes, punches, kicks, hair-pulls, and even sticks, knives, and guns.
We teach an eclectic system of Japanese Jujitsu. It has elements of Judo, Jujutsu, Hapkido, Aikido, Kickboxing, Taekwon Do, and Tang Soo Do. Safety and fun (with resulting fitness) are our goals.
