The Little Dragons program is designed for students aged 4 to 6 years.
- Age 4 to 6 Years
- 30 Minute Class Duration
- Unique Ranking System
Class Structure and Curriculum
Little Dragons classes are specifically designed to accommodate the shorter attention span of younger students, lasting only 30 minutes.
The curriculum focuses on developing reaction training, eye-hand coordination, listening skills, and a simplified martial arts curriculum.
Ranking System
Little Dragons follow a unique ranking system separate from students aged 7 and above.
Additional ranks within the Little Dragons program allow students to progress at a more manageable rate, providing them with ample time to develop their martial arts skills.
The colored stripes on the White Belt are specific to Little Dragons and fit within the standard ranking system between the White Belt and Gold Belt.
Progression and Transition
Not all Little Dragons are required to earn all the striped belts before progressing to a Gold Belt.
Early graduation from Little Dragons classes to Kid classes is based on the student’s comprehension of techniques and the instructor’s assessment of their readiness to move up to the next level.
