Little Dragons Tae Kwon Do class is a very a special course specifically for 4-6 year old children. These classes are held once a week and are custom designed to introduce very young children to basic Martial Arts. Each week, the student will be challenged physically and mentally as they gain all the benefits of martial arts and are taught Respect, Courtesy, Self Confidence, Physical Fitness, Goal Setting and so much more. These playful classes are fun and educational for young children. All students learn the importance of Black Belt Excellence, a metaphor for developing strong character.

Each Class:
Each class will begin with a traditional greeting, jumping jacks, stretching and core work. Stretches include butterfly stretches (during which the students will guide us on an imaginary journey and core work will consist of bicycles drills (where we will go on another imaginary journey). We will then review the previous lesson and dive into that day’s lesson. Each class will conclude with a 15 count – a series of positions and moves the students will become familiar with as we progress through the classes.
Students are not only encouraged to replicate each move, but also accompany each move with a “kia,” count out loud and respond to instruction with a loud “yes, Ma’am.” During each class, we will count (1-10) in Korean. We encourage the students to repeat after the instructor so that they can commit the numbers to memory.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I am a 4th degree black belt and Tae Kwon Do.
For the last 22 years, I have had the honor and privilege to work with children passing on this ancient art. Whether it has been within a county’s educational system, a summer camp, a private group or my own studio, I enjoy being able to teach children something new and watch their confidence build as they learn. I have experience working with typical as well as special needs children.
