Our Little Dragons programme is built especially for children aged 4 to 6. At this age, the goal isn’t just “learning Kung Fu” — it’s helping children grow into confident, capable little people through fun, structured training in the training hall.
To make progress clear (and keep motivation high), Little Dragons follows a fully structured syllabus. Children learn in small, bite-sized steps, with plenty of praise and encouragement along the way. Parents love it because their child is developing real skills — not just running around — and children love it because it feels exciting and achievable.
Little Dragons Beginners (Up to Yellow Sash)
Confidence, listening skills, coordination and “safe” self-defence basics
At Beginner level, we focus on building the foundations: balance, simple footwork, good posture, and learning how to use their voice and body confidently. Everything is taught through fun drills, games, and partner activities that are always age-appropriate.
Modules in Little Dragons Beginners (Up to Yellow Sash):
• Straight Attack Defences
Children learn how to respond to straight “push or poke” style attacks in a safe, controlled way — building confidence and awareness.
• Elbows & Knees
Taught carefully and age-appropriately, this helps children understand close-range movement and body control (without heavy contact).
• Round Attack Defences
Fun drills that teach children how to notice wider swinging attacks and move safely — improving reactions and coordination.
• Grab Defences
A big one for parents: children practise how to respond if someone grabs their wrist or clothing, using simple movements and strong posture
What parents usually notice at this stage: better listening, improved focus, calmer confidence, stronger coordination, and a child who starts to carry themselves differently.
Little Dragons Advanced (Orange Sash and Above)
Stronger skills, better coordination, and bigger “real world” concepts — taught safely
Once children reach Orange Sash and above, we build on everything they already know. They revisit the beginner modules, but to a higher level — with better timing, smoother movement, and improved control.
At this level, we also begin introducing exciting new areas of training to keep children engaged while developing their physical and mental skills.
What’s added in Little Dragons Advanced (Orange Sash and Above):
• Beginner Modules Revisited (Higher Level)
Children repeat and refine the core skills — this is where confidence really grows, because they can feel themselves getting better.
• Interrupted Attacks
We teach Little Dragons fun, age-appropriate games that help them react quickly when things change. They learn to stop, reset, and respond while moving — building better coordination, quicker thinking, and confidence in busy situations.
• Groundwork
Little Dragons learn simple, safe skills for when they’re on the floor — like how to move, create space, and get back up calmly. It’s great for confidence as well as co ordination and fitness/flexibility training
• Escrima Stick
Using lightweight, child-friendly training sticks, children practise controlled movements that boost hand–eye coordination, focus, and safe distance awareness — all closely supervised and taught as skill-building, not “fighting”.
• Multiple Assailant
Taught in a child-friendly way, this focuses on awareness, moving to a safer space. The key lesson is smart choices and safe escape, not standing and fighting.
• Weapons Training for Coordination (Age-Appropriate & Supervised)
Children start learning more advanced weapons such as Swords, Bo Staff, and Tonfa to improve:
•hand–eye coordination
•focus and control
•balance and body awareness
•following instructions in a fun, exciting way
What parents usually notice at this stage: better discipline, more confidence speaking up, improved coordination, and a child who enjoys working towards goals.
Moving Up to Junior Warriors at Age 7
When Little Dragons reach age 7, they move up into our Junior Warriors classes (ages 7–12). This is a natural next step, where the training becomes more challenging and more detailed — perfect for growing minds and bodies.
