Little Dragons is a program based on a detailed martial arts curriculum that focuses on improving pre-school aged children’s basic motor skills, while reinforcing discipline and respect. It is also a ‘kindergarten’ for our regular martial arts program. Your child will be exposed to positive social interaction as they learn how to work with others and follow directions in a fun and motivating way. The program is set up into six 8-9-week sessions during which your child will learn one important skill a week. After each class your Little Dragon will receive a different colored stripe that represents the skill they learned. The skills are as follows: Focus - red
Teamwork - blue
Control - green
Balance - yellow
Memory - orange
Discipline - white
Fitness - black
Coordination - brown At the end on the 8-9-week session there will be a promotion test. If your Little Dragon has received all 8 different colored stripes then he/she is eligible to test for the next belt color. Your child will perform all of the skills he/she learned in class in front of an audience of friends and family. The progression of belts is as follows: White belt
Yellow belt
Orange Belt
Green belt
Blue belt
Red belt
Black belt If your child misses a week of instruction there are two options for making up the missed stripe: - Come to one of the other classes in the same week (you can check the schedule for the times.)
- Come to the Little Dragon make up session on the Friday before the promotion test. We can make up one or two stripes at this time. If there are any more missed stripes, your child will have to wait 9 weeks for the next testing time. There is a ten-dollar fee to the instructor who helps your child. More detailed information will be given prior to the test.
Once your child completes the program they have the option to stay in Little Dragons or move up into the Big Kids class!
