This fun-filled introduction to Taekwon-Do lays a solid foundation, improves fitness levels and social skills while building character for children aged between 5 and 8 years old.
The Little Dragons programme teaches children to be good citizens and prepares them for life, or at least school.
Little Dragons Program
We provide lessons in safety and offer life skills, as well as physical martial arts skills. These skills help the students become well rounded by promoting the child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.
We approach the physical portion of this class as a Martial Arts focused physical education class. The life skills portion of the class focuses on developing mental, social, and emotional skills. All skills and promotions are based on participation and course completion. Our primary objective is to get the students involved, giving 100% effort, having fun and playing.
