Karate for children 4-6 years old

Little Dragons Program for Our Youngest Students

This program is designed for students ages 4 to 6.  The goal of the program is to introduce students, at this young age, to the benefits of the martial arts.  Students will work to develop and improve through the teaching of the basic karate techniques.  Along with the physical development, a student should develop better concentration, focus and listening skills.  The program will also teach children some basic street-smart techniques.  When a student graduates from this program, they will enter the junior karate program as an advanced white belt, or white stripe.

Our specially structured martial arts programs are designed to develop and strengthen qualities children need in today’s society. Qualities such as self-confidence and self-esteem are generally accepted as fundamental to the healthy emotional and mental development of children. Our classes help your child develop physical skills, including coordination, balance, flexibility and self-defence.  It is documented that these skills have a direct positive effect on a child’s self-esteem, mental development and academic performance. Studies show that parents perceive a large increase in self-confidence, self-worth or self-esteem as the most obvious benefit of karate training. Let our team of professional instructors motivate and educate your children through goal-oriented development programs.

I have never been in a place where the people were so caring. They have pushed me to a new fitness level and I plan to continue to challenge myself and increase my goals. I recommend to everyone I know.

Jacques Chomiak

Trained here and got up to 2nd degree black belt. Great instructors keep a whole class intense for people with different skill. Every instructor is very adept and knowlegable in forms and technique. Very friendly atmosphere and attending is worth it. Definitely London's best Martial Arts and cardio kickboxing studio!Jacques Chomiak

Louise Cottrell Cassar

We started karate because my son said Why play with action figures when I can be one?
It's been 2 years and we love it there. My son is a blue belt and my 5 year old daughter is in little dragons. I just joined and am loving the adult classes. I can't wait to start kickboxing!

My niece and I did the kickboxing cardio class from 6-7pm and had an amazing workout. It was our fist time doing the class and the teacher Leah was great at explaining, Leah and the rest of the class made us feel welcome. We can't wait to join and come to more classes.
Thanks for a great experience.
