Little Dragons 3-6 yrs

Where little feet take big steps

Little Dragons

Ages 3 - 6 yrs

Building confidence, resilience and coordination through playful martial arts

🟦 What your child will learn

✔ Confidence that grows every week

Shy children find their voice, energetic children learn to channel their energy, and all children discover they can try new things and succeed.

✔ Listening, focus, and early discipline

Through short activities and clear routines, children learn how to follow instructions, take turns, and celebrate small wins.

✔ Balance, coordination, and body awareness

Obstacle courses, simple stances, and controlled movements help young Dragons strengthen their coordination and physical confidence.

✔ Respect, kindness, and positive behaviour

We introduce the foundations of martial arts values — respect, courage, perseverance, and helping others — in a way young children naturally understand.

✔ Safe foundations for future martial arts training

Every child develops age-appropriate versions of stances, blocks, beginner kicks, pad work, and teamwork skills that prepare them for Junior Champions later on.
