What is Lil Dragons?
The Lil' Dragon classes are an age and ability appropiate, specially designed training programme that teaches more than just Taekwon-Do. It teaches youngsters to be good citizens and preppares them for life, or at least school. The classes includes lessons in safety and life skills as well as physical Taekwon-Do skills. These skills help the students become well rounded by promoting the child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.
We approach the physical portion of this class as a Taekwon-Do - focused education class. All skills and belt promotions are based on participation and course completion there are 4 belt grades to achieve.
Our primary objective is to get the students involved, giving 100% effort, having fun and playing.' Of course , our Lil' Dragon curriculum is age and ability appropriate so that their "play" is actually their "work". The primary focus in Lil' Dragon classes is to develop fundamental basics, creating a solid foundation to build upon in the older years.
Therefore we teach very few of the Taekwon-Do skills that you will see in older childrens classes ie 8-11 years and instead focus on skills they need before entering the Kids Kickers and then on to our traditional Taekwon-Do classes.
What is the age group for Lil' Dragons Taekwon-Do & how long are the classes?
Ages 4-6 Years. The classes are 30 - 45 minutes long.
Why Lil' Dragons as opposed to other sports?
Unlike other sports, Lil' Dragon Taekwon-Do is a life style training on whole child development - mentally, physically, socially and emotionally. Although students can compete with their skills, it isn't recommended for this young age group yet, as more focus is placed on doing their personal best and not being "better" than others.
What are the benefits of Lil Dragon Taekwon-Do, for children and their parents and how are the classes better than traditional Judo, Karate or Kick boxing classes for children of this age?
The Lil' Dragon Taekwon-Do programme is tailor made for this young age group and will therefore, meet their needs better than a traditional martial art class which is for older children and adults.

Martial arts reading – before you begin
Do you know why you want to take up martial arts? At Spirit Taekwondo Academies, the experts believe that there are some very straightforward reasons why people choose to take up martial arts. Reading the thoughts of these experienced practitioners and trainers could help you to make up your mind about which area you want to study:
• For fitness – for many people, fitness is the main reason for taking up martial arts. Reading what some people say about these sports, it’s easy to see why. Martial arts training is physically tough and is a great way to get fit. Many people train several times a week, and martial arts offer a whole-body workout.
• For the mind – martial arts may be very physical but they all usually have a spiritual side too. Martial arts reading materials show that many forms of martial arts are closely connected with the culture and beliefs of those people who developed, practised and trained in these arts, and the spiritual element draws many new people to the discipline.
• For self-defence – of course, self-defence is an important reason for considering martial arts. Reading books and watching films can show the extreme side of martial arts, but the truth is that you will learn how to defend yourself if you have to. For many people, this is the most important reason to take up martial arts.
