LITTLE DRAGONS
Our "Little Dragons" program
was developed by our instructors to give your child a more realistic, modern approach to self
defense!
We teach children ranging
from 5 to 12.
All children learn a
combination of two martial arts. For stand up, we practice Jeet Kune Do,
and for ground fighting, we practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The class is not your
traditional 'static' training usually dished out to children. This
is generally done because most instructors feel children do not have the ability
to perform in a 'live' training environment. Not only do we know
better, but the proof is in the performance of our Little Dragons!
Children are sponges, they soak up information and should not be held back due
to their age! You'd be absolutely amazed at what they are capable of when
they see hard work pays off.
Your child will not punch or
kick the air for an hour and walk out the door with a false sense of self
confidence! Instead, he/she will KNOW what they ARE and ARE NOT capable of
because they have tested it in a 'live, safe, fun environment'.
Without this type of
training, guess what's going to happen to your child the first time a
confrontation actually gets physical? What about if things go
wrong? Will your child panic because he has never trained in a
'live' atmosphere? Or will he/she perform confidently and
proficiently? The decision is up to you!
I have two girls of my own in
this class. They are 7 and 12. Sure, they were timid at first, but
it's nothing to come into the gym and see them wrestling with other children
(laughing the entire time).
I've personally seen this
have an effect on other aspects of their lives as well. My 7 year old
daughter was one of the most timid children you could ever meet. After 1
month, she was volunteering to take turns leading the class through our
stretches!
