Martial Arts for Li’l Dragons (3 + 4 year olds)
Your preschooler will learn much more than how to kick and punch. The kids in this group learn important life skills such as stranger and drug awareness, healthy food choices, and the importance of exercise.
Skills and benefits from participating in the Li’l Dragon class:
* Skill #1: FOCUS – Focus plays a key role in the mindset of children, who have limited attention spans. The Li’l Dragons class will teach your child to focus on the task at hand. This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reaction skills. As a result, he/she will excel faster in any physical activity. Your child will also become a better listener and a more focused student in school.
* Skill #2: TEAMWORK – Teamwork skills are necessary for any young child to develop. The Li’l Dragons are exposed to positive interaction with other children in class. By having an organized game plan and instructor supervision, Li’l Dragons will learn together and have fun in the process. The more confidence your child shows towards working with others, the more they will get accomplished in life. Your child will develop character and good social skills, which will help him to make new friends and become a leader.
* Skill #3: CONTROL – Control will help children respond and perform correctly. They will strive to be cool, which means not losing their temper and not being too rough. The Li’l Dragons program will help your children develop control of what they say, how they feel, and what they do physically. Children also learn at an early stage not to give up. Having control means making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or handling a problem, he or shewill learn to make the right decisions. Control will build confidence in your child.
* Skill #4: BALANCE – Balance is a crucial skill to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Having good balance will increase speed and agility, as well as lead to better posture. Your child will have fun developing balance in this class with balance beams and other positions, like kicks!
* Skill #5: MEMORY – Developing a good memory is exercise for your child’s brain. As your child develops memory, he/she will retain techniques and lessons. The sooner your child exercises, the smarter he or she will become. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make healthy memory pathways in their developing brains.
* Skill #6: DISCIPLINE – Discipline is what martial arts are based upon. Children must learn self-control of their body and mind. Once they learn to have good discipline, they will become better students who are focused on their goals. Our instructors use the Li’l Dragon drills to create the vision that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing. Your child will also follow directions better.
* Skill #7: FITNESS – Being physically fit is a necessity for any martial artist. The sooner you enforce this concept, the healthier your child will be. Fitness can be very fun and rewarding. If your child develops a passion for exercise early in life, it will be less difficult to stay physically fit as they grow older. It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If your child does not burn off excess energy exercising, how will he or she burn off all that energy?
* Skill #8: COORDINATION – Coordination is one of the best benefits of training in the martial arts. This skill is important for children to have if they want to participate in sports. All sorts of talents nurture off this skill. Your child will learn their left from their right. They will become better physical participants in sports and activities. The better coordination your child has, the fewer injuries your child will sustain.
In our Li’l Dragons classes, Mrs. Nagy and Mr. Opp make learning fun and structured. Our goal is to help your preschoolers be the best they can be at everything they put their minds to.
Karate for Kids (5-12 year olds)
This is the place for your child(ren) if you are looking for a top rated martial art program that emphasizes character development!
Classes are SAFE, fun and educational.
We have a dynamic curriculum that keeps kids engaged and constantly seeing improvement!
Incentive programs such as Academic Achiever, Black Belt Club and Demo Team reward effort.
Sleepovers, pizza & movie nights, laser tag and buddy weeks keep things exciting and fun as well as allow the children to socialize and make new friends.
Co-operating at home is expected and taught as part of becoming a Black Belt. Children are taught that Parents and Teachers are in charge.
The skill sets taught are similar to the Li’l Dragons listed above as well as The Four Secrets of Karate: Concentration, Respect, Self-Discipline and Perseverance.
The Student Creed is one of the ways those secrets are taught. Students will memorize and recite it before each class. It emphasizes correct behavior, a positive attitude and nevermisusing Karate.
Sir/Ma’am,
I am developing myself in a positive manner, and I avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
I am developing self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
I am using what I learn in class, constructively and defensively, to help myself and my fellow man, and never to be abusive or offensive.
What are parents saying about our creed?
“There is something special about listening to a row of kids reciting the student creed. It’s pretty cool hearing these strong and powerful words coming out of my son’s mouth, and his peers too!”
-Melissa, Mom of a Li’l Dragon, Karate for Kids and Black Belt Club students
