Little Dragons classes

Our Little Dragons Program is an age-appropriate curriculum for pre-schoolers aged 3 to 4 years old that focuses on improving basic motor skills, listening skills, and focus skills. Understanding how to wait their turn, not throwing objects in frustration, learning how to follow directions, being excited to exercise and learn new things and having the confidence to tackle new challenges are all lessons that a child must learn. There are many factors that will affect a child’s development and behaviours, but there are few places to turn that can do so in a fun, positive and enthusiastically educational way. Our Kidz Karate Little Dragons program addresses these issues and more.

Our program will enhance positive development in a fun and encouraging way.

The Little Dragons Program will also prepare your child for our Junior Dragons Program. In the Little Dragon classes, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. They will learn how to work with others and follow directions from their instructors. Our Little Dragon instructors are good role models who are trained specifically to work with children of this age.

What do we mean by "preliminary" martial arts training?

When we refer to preliminary martial arts training, we are referring to fundamental skill development necessary to efficiently and effectively participate in the martial arts. Children ages 8 and under are not ready for intense martial arts training- they need to have a solid foundation in fundamental martial arts preparation. Premature exposure to intense martial arts training will limit a child’s ability and slow their development. This will lead to a lack of ongoing motivation and ultimately restrict their capabilities.

We will target their stages of development and maximize the results by providing our students with age-specific programs, A foundation must be laid before a child begins martial arts training in fundamental skill development. Because 5 & 6 year olds already have a clear understanding of following directions and interacting positively with others, they can enter a martial arts training program without having to lay a foundation. Three & four year olds, however, need to spend time learning how to lay the foundation in a manner that is consistent with their stages of development.

Classes are conducted at our Helensvale Headquarters on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10 to 10:30AM.
