 Our
little dragon curriculum was created as a martial
arts system that is designed just for kids ages 4-8.
Admittedly, there are some four year old children
who are not quite ready to learn in a group
environment, so not all four year olds are accepted
at our school.
The primary focus of this system is to give
preschool and early elementary school children the
“Yes, I
Can Do It” attitude. The martial arts
techniques are specifically designed to provide your
child with a systematic progression of skills that
will produce results quickly. The children are
rewarded immediately with either patches or new belt
levels. This is the key factor of the success in our
classes.
Instead of teaching a traditional martial arts
system to these young children, our Little Dragon
program teaches martial arts motor skills. The
traditional martial arts systems are too difficult
for younger children to learn and enjoy. The moves
they are taught in class are very natural and easy
to learn system of developing skills with basic
hands, elbows, knees, kicking and tumbling
techniques that are fun and exciting for children.
The kids will go through eight belt levels up to
brown. (They cannot achieve a black
belt in this curriculum until they advance to the
adult level.)
The traditional movements are not eliminated, but
will be gradually introduced at a much later,
easier, and slower rate.

Seukin's Five Rules of Life
were and are basic rules for living and getting along. They are
everyday basic rules adopted and adapted to the martial arts by
Master Haragaya Seukin of ancient Japan. These rules are
specifically covered in children's orange belt and again in
adult red belt, but we like to focus on them on a regular basis.
Seukin's Five Rules of Life
1. Defend the weak.
2. Protect the innocent
3. Never use jujitsu on a weaker
or less knowledgeable opponent.
4. Always be true to yourself and others.
5. Always respect your elders.

Our little dragon program has three elements, safety
skills, life skills, and martial arts. We teach our kids to be good
citizens and to prepare them for life. We teach the importance of
minding parents and teachers the first time, and the importance of
honesty. We teach units in safety and life skills. These help the kids
become well rounded and make our school unique by developing the child’s
social, emotional, physical, as well as intellectual growth.
Our little dragons will:
1. Develop self esteem and learn to
share 2. Develop a sense of
independence while being a part of a team
3. Learn to take turns 4. Develop speech
and language skills 5. Develop
physical strength and agility 6. Develop
coordination and stamina skills 7. Develop
a love for learning 8. Build fundamental
motor skills 9. Increase awareness about
body and space 10. Learn to follow directions 11. Learn social skills
12. Learn basic problem solving 13. Demonstrate responsibility
14. Learn and show self-control
15. Act respectfully
