What is Little Dragons?
Little Dragons is our 4 - 6 year old white belt program. The students learn the exact same moves as the normal white belt class, but we take a little longer to teach them in a developmentally appropriate manner.

What are the differences between little dragons and white belts?
The main difference is the way the class is arranged. The little dragons class is 15 minutes shorter. We also have atleast 3 black belt instructors on the floor at all times. The classes are broken down into small groups that work on one specific skill for a shorter period of time so we can keep the younger children's attention. We also try to present the techniques and skills in a more "game-like" manner so that the younger students become more excited about learning

How long does it take for little dragons to get their gold belt?
Little dragons follow the same Curriculum as whitebelts, but they take longer to promote to gold belt. On average it take about 6 months for a dragon to earn their gold belt. The increase in time is for a couple of reasons. The students are younger so it takes more time for them to learn the techniques. We do not want the dragons to go into gold belt without a good understanding of the basics - that would put them behind the rest of the class and result in possibly getting hurt while sparring. We also use the extra time to make the transition from little dragon to gold belt easier when they approach their promotion date.

What can my child gain from being a little dragon?
Our goal with little dragons is to get them to the same level that the white belts are at when they promote to gold belt. As a little dragon your son or daughter will have increased strength, flexibility, agility, etc., but they will, more importantly, have more self-discipline. They will also have a better understanding of basic life skills, like how to aviod an argument or fight with another student and learning their left from their right.
