PROGRAMS

Martial Arts Programs:

LITTLE DRAGONS (3-5yrs)
Our program is a real hit because it is designed specifically for preschoolers in a small class setting. Our Little Dragon program helps
youngsters learn self-discipline, patience, listening skills, and respect.   The Little Dragon program focuses on the development of
productive listening skills, motor coordination, and a first sense of self-confidence. Self-defense skills such as: "Stranger Danger" alerts
and calling 911 in case of an emergency is also taught. The Little Dragon program takes place in a structured class environment.
Students perform drills and fun activities and learn material that is required for belt advancement.


 JUNIORS (6-12yrs)
Our Junior Karate Program is designed to help build important life skills. The skills taught include discipline, coordination, self-control,
self-esteem and self-defense. More than any other sport, karate lessons give children the chance to explore their innate powers. Marvel
as they increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. This is only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for
something much more important: the development of value skills, both mental and spiritual.


YOUTH/ADULT (13yrs & up)
Our Youth/Adult Karate Program provides students with a progressive, positive and encouraging environment to improve their mental,
physical and emotional conditioning.   Whether your main objective is self-defense, physical fitness, or to reduce stress, our classes are
designed to help you achieve your goals.   Students learn karate forms, sparring, weapons and self-defense. Our step-by-step approach to
learning allows students to enjoy constant progress, growth and change. Your current fitness level will be taken into consideration during
training as we help you to push yourself at an acceptable but challenging pace to reach your goals.
