Lil’ Dragon Program
Our Lil’ Dragon Program was designed specifically to prepare your child for kindergarten. It includes instruction in safety skills, life skills and martial arts. These skills help your child become well rounded by developing their social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth. A few things Lil’ Dragons will learn: to follow instructions, take turns, act respectfully, problem solve, show self-control, socialization, build fundamental motor skills, increase their focus ability and promote stamina and coordination.
We encourage our parents to be patient and not compare their child to others. As our students stay faithful to attending class twice a week and practicing at home, they will improve and suddenly become “the focused one” everyone on the bench is pointing out. It takes time and patience for change, but the benefits will be well worth it.
We believe every child is gifted in one way or another, just as every child will be challenged in different ways. Some children are afraid to handle struggles or challenges and will only want to do things they are certain they will be ale to do well. It is our job to encourage these children to try new things in a non-threatening way. We do this through repetition. Repetition is disguised through drills and fun activities. The drills and activities may at times look like we are “just playing games,” but rest assured, there is a purpose behind every activity. Through these drills and activities the instructors are working on motor skills, balance, focus, discipline, right and left side coordination, listening skills, memory, cooperation, respect and fitness, to name a few.
