LIL' DRAGONS PROGRAM
For Children - Ages 4-7
The Lil’ Dragons Program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving children’s
basic motor and listening skills. These skills will help them enter society with a more
confident and enthusiastic outlook. They will become better students at school, better
listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future. We believe the time between
the ages of 4 and 7 are the most important years of a child’s development. Our
program will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way.
The Lil’ Dragons program will also prepare your child for our Martial Arts Program. In
the Lil’ Dragons class, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. They will
learn how to work with others and follow directions from their instructors. Our Lil’
Dragons instructors are good role models who are trained specifically to work with
children.
The Lil’ Dragons curriculum consists of developing 8 Major skills that are necessary for
participation in any sport or activity. The curriculum also contains 8 Lil’ Dragon
Personal Development skills used to reinforce family values. Upon completion of our
Lil’ Dragons program, your child will become focused and motivated to achieve any goal
they set in life!
The 8 Lil’ Dragon skill requirements are composed of physical and mental benefits.
The following are the skills with the benefits from participating in the Lil’ Dragon class:
Skill #1: FOCUS – Focus plays a key role in the mindset of children, who have limited
attention spans. The Lil’ Dragons class will teach your child to focus on the task at
hand. This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reaction skills. As a result,
he/she will excel faster in any physical activity. Your child will also become a better
listener and a more focused student in school.
Skill #2: TEAMWORK – Teamwork skills are necessary for any young child to develop.
The Lil’ Dragons are exposed to positive interaction with other children in class. By
having an organized game plan and instructor supervision, Lil’ Dragons will learn
together and have fun in the process. The more confidence your child shows towards
working with others, the more they will get accomplished in life. Your child will develop
character and good social skills, which will help him to make new friends and become a
leader.
Skill #3: CONTROL – Control will help children respond and perform correctly. They will
strive to be cool, which means not losing their temper and not being too rough. The Lil’
Dragons program will help your child develop control of what they say, how they feel,
and what they do physically. Children also learn at an early stage not to give up.
Having control means making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or
handling a problem, he or she will learn to make the right decisions. Control will build
confidence in your child.
Skill #4: BALANCE – Balance is a crucial skill to develop at an early age. Your child is
beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-
wheel bicycle. Having good balance will increase speed and agility, as well as lead to
better posture.
Skill #5: MEMORY – Developing a good memory is exercise for your child’s brain. As
your child develops memory, he/she will retain techniques and lessons. The sooner
your child exercises, the smarter he or she will become. Our drills are constantly
helping your child think and make smart decisions.
Skill #6: DISCIPLINE – Discipline is what martial arts are based upon. Children must
learn self-control of their body and mind. Once they learn to have good discipline, they
will become better students who are focused on their goals. Our instructors use the Lil’
Dragon drills to create the vision that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will
take pride in doing the right thing. Your child will also follow directions better.
Skill #7: FITNESS – Being physically fit is a necessity for any martial artist. The sooner
you enforce this concept, the healthier your child will be. Fitness can be very fun and
rewarding. If your child develops a passion for exercise early in life, it will be less
difficult to stay physically fit as they grow older. It is important for children to
understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If your child does not
burn off excess energy exercising, how will he or she burn off all that energy?
Skill #8: COORDINATION – Coordination is one of the best benefits of training in the
martial arts. This skill is important for children to have if they want to participate in
sports. All sorts of talents nurture off this skill. Your child will learn their left from their
right. They will become better physical participants in sports and activities. The better
coordination your child has, the fewer injuries your child will sustain.
In our Lil’ Dragons classes, we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help
your child be the best they can be at everything they put their minds to.
