Midwest Tae Kwon Do and Sport Karate

Little Dragons (Ages 3-5)

The Little Dragon program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving children’s basic motor and listening skills. These skills will help them gain more confidence, become better students at school and better listeners at home and feel more ambitious toward his / her goals. Our program enhances positive development in a fun and motivating way. The Little Dragon program will also prepare your child for our Youth Tae Kwon Do program.

The Little Dragon curriculum consists of developing 8 Major Skills that are necessary for participation in any sport or activity. The 8 Little Dragons skill requirements are composed of physical and mental benefits. A specific skill is developed and focused on each class. A monthly calendar is published to inform the parents which skill will be worked on for each class. Each skill has a specific color stripe assigned to it. At the end of each class, each student receives a “stripe” for their belt for the skill they mastered in that particular class. The stripes are an achievement reward and works as an incentive for your child. Once your child has earned the 8 stripes, they will be eligible for the next “Little Dragon” belt level.

The following are the skills with the benefits from participating in the Little Dragon class:

Skill # 1: FOCUS – This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reaction skills. They will excel faster in any physical activities. Your child will also become a better listener and a more focused student in school.

Skill # 2: TEAMWORK – Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. The more confident your child is willing to work with others, the more he or she will accomplish. Your child will develop character, which will help him or her make new friends and become a better leader in life.

Skill # 3: CONTROL – Having control means making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or handling a problem he or she will learn to make the right decisions. Control builds confidence.

Skill # 4: BALANCE – This skill is crucial to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Your child will develop good balance and a better posture.

Skill # 5: MEMORY – Developing a good memory is exercise for your child’s brain. The sooner your child exercises the smarter he or she will become. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make smart decisions.

Skill # 6: DISCIPLINE – Our instructors use the Little Dragon drills to help create the vision that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing. Your child will also follow direction better.

Skill # 7: FITNESS – It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If your child does not burn off excess energy exercising, how will he or she burn off all of that energy?

Skill # 8: COORDINATION – Your child will learn left from right. They will become better physical participants in sports and activities. Your child will sustain fewer injuries because they have better coordination.

Your Child Will Learn to Set Goals, Build Confidence and have a Positive Attitude.
