Little Dragons Karate Class

Check out our Little Dragons Karate Class schedule online and register your child today online at the McAllen Karate website. In their brand new uniforms with a baby dragon on the back they will experience training in skills such as large and gross motor skills, behavior development, and activities and drills that compliment the child’s stage of development. This class for young children will enhance their motor skills such as running, jumping, balancing, rolling, and coordination. For behavior development they will learn how to manage frustration, take turns and be respectful when others are speaking. In character development they learn how to make friends, tell the truth, to share and to continue to try until they succeed. The kids, age 3 to 6, will learn fundamental skills from these eight categories; focus, teamwork, balance, control, memory, discipline, fitness and coordination.

Children are an integral part of karate and are treated with the same respect as an adult. Karate training can provide all children with the regular exercise critical to good mental and physical development. In particular, this type of physical involvement has benefited hyperactive children by providing a constructive way for them to direct their excess energy as well as raising the energy level of lethargic youngsters.

Along with the obvious physical rewards, karate provides other valuable rewards to any child’s development. Discipline, self-respect, respect for others, improved emotional maturity, improved concentration skills, self-accountability and self-confidence are natural by products of the karate discipline.

Karate, tae kwon do and judo are avenues open to children of all ages according to their level of proficiency. Karate is centered on the cultivation of the individual. The child learns through competition that the most important issue is to improve on one’s own vulnerabilities: that the essence of competition is primarily within us, not against others. We point out that failures and successes are of equal value and are treated as tests of character and mental focus above all else.
