I create a fun but structured learning environment for boys and girls. I cover how to be safe and avoid getting into a fight, being bullied or putting oneself in unsafe situations. If students can't avoid these situations, I teach them what they need to safely defend themselves and get away to safety. They will learn hand strikes, kicks and blocks, along with stand up and on the ground grappling. I incorporate games that provide a fun way to teach balance, patience, listening skills, self control, how to pay attention, self confidence, physical dexterity and strength.
I have two age groups for our kids class.
Little Dragons: Ages 5 - 12 (Ages 3 and 4 may be considered)
Fighting Tigers Ages 13 - 17
Depending on their size and maturity for their age I may keep them in Little Dragons longer or promote them sooner. While it is good to challenge kids with practicing and grappling kids bigger than themselves and/or a higher ranked I don't want anyone to feel too intimidated to participate or feel like they are being held back.
Safety is the first rule followed by respect and consideration.
