mIni dragons
martial arts for ages 3-6 years old

Our Mini Dragons program is designed just for kids ages 3–6 — the perfect introduction to martial arts in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment. We know little ones have big energy, so we channel it into exciting activities that teach focus, coordination, listening skills, and respect.
Each class combines age-appropriate martial arts techniques with games, drills, and challenges that keep kids engaged while building confidence and discipline. Your child will learn how to follow directions, work as part of a team, and develop healthy habits — all while making friends and having a blast.
The Mini Dragons program isn’t just about kicks and punches — it’s about shaping strong, respectful, and confident kids from the very start.
