The Little Dragons program is meant to be a way to help young children (ages 3-5) to develop some of the same things that are developed in a martial arts program.  Our goals are in part to help them develop motor skills, body awareness, balance and coordination.  The curriculum created by Sensei David Hills encompasses a set of fun, challenging exercises based on a variety of animals, many of them from the imagination of the students themselves.  Being able to work in a group and follow directions helps prepare them for school.  They will learn how to follow visual, auditory, and kinesthetic instructions.   As their skills grow, the children learn kicks, punches and the ability to fall correctly.  They will have achievable goals, but will be confronted by a steadily increasing level of difficulty required to learn each skill set.  What is important to us is that they learn and continue to succeed. Because self esteem is gained through winning, we have set up a system of helping them do just that.
