Red Dragons Program
The Kidz Karate Red Dragon program extends on from the Junior Dragons whilst still retaining the lessons relating to the 8 skills listed above. This program was designed specifically for primary school aged children between the ages 8-12 years. The Red Dragon program encourages self-discipline and self-control whilst teaching many important life skills to students. This program incorporates a Leadership Team, which is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their leadership skills.
Kidz Karate was registered as an Aussie Sports club in 1992 and has been successfully running in Australia for 17 years. The syllabus is especially designed for children. The grading system has been modified to enable young martial artists to gain a solid grounding in both the physical and mental aspects of karate. All grading requirements are similar to the senior karate curriculum but all of the more difficult or less appropriate techniques have been removed. The gradings are also in smaller steps to keep the kids focussed on their goals.
Please refer to the Gradings section for details on how our exciting and innovative approach to helping your child will benefit their personal development.
As Kidz Karate students learn similar skills to their older counterparts they can easily move into the intermediate classes once they are both confident and old enough.
The main objectives of Kidz Karate are:
- To learn basic martial arts skills
- To develop basic motor skills
- To develop a healthy attitude to sport
- To provide basic self defence skills
- To develop self esteem
- To develop respect for ones elders and peers
- To develop group socialisation skills
