Teaching Martial Arts to Children - Junior Dragons Program

Children are still in the Tiger Stage of their lives so their classes differ from the adult curriculum. For example, some of their defense strikes are taught to be less impactful while still retaining their effectiveness i.e. a palm heel rather than a punch.

We are aware that children have not developed effective control of their emotions and so our classes stress self-discipline. Especially, how important it is to not impose their knowledge on others in a bullying fashion, and that honor is retained when you walk away rather than engage in a fight. As they mature the curriculum grows with them.

Interactive Video Training and Testing
