What happens during the 45 minute Lil' Dragons class?
(Prior to class Lil' Dragons will line up their shoes and bow into the Dojo.)
The Lil' Dragons start by lining up by rank and then a short period of meditation. Next students warm-up (running) and then stretch. Lil' Dragons will learn basic karate techniques through skill building activities. Some of the various skill building activities include: karate drills (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks), obstacle courses, flags, and working the bags and targets. The class ends with another short period of meditation. (The Lil' Dragons do not participate in sparring.) Parents may watch the Lil' Dragons class from the seating area.
Lil' Dragons Uniform & Belt
Lil' Dragons will wear a Lil' Dragon uniform and start with a white belt. After acquiring the proper skill they will advance through the ranks of gold, green, purple, brown, and black stripes that run down the middle of their white belt. Lil' Dragons do not earn solid colored belts.
Lil' Dragons will eventually graduate into the youth karate program. They will start over at white belt and work their way through the solid colored belt ranks.
