Our Little Dragons Preschool program is a detailed curriculum to help your child develop motor skills, listening skills and a foundation for success in school. We believe that the preschool age is a critical time in a child’s development. Our program focuses on the following skills in a fun and safe environment: At Masters of Martial Arts, we start our younger children with Dragon Tots program (for ages 4-5) and in our Little Dragons program (for ages 5-7).
The training and education at this level of instruction focus more on the pillars of society that we all aspire to: fairness, trustworthiness, responsibility, caring, citizenship, self-respect, self-confidence, respect for others, and much more. We introduce the children into a healthy, stress-free, environment. The Little Dragons learn how to explore and challenge their own abilities. Introducing your child to martial arts is a decision not to be taken lightly. Enrol your child in the wrong school, and the results could be disastrous. Masters of Martial Arts, we take this decision very seriously. Come down and sit in on any of our children’s classes and you will see the results for yourself.

Learning Does Not Stop Once They Leave the Mat
It is not all fun and games…Little Dragons are expected to practice their lessons at home. The children will earn “stripes” for promotion through their accomplishments on and off the mat. Each week we focus on a life skill such as focus, discipline, respect etc. The children are given “homework” to practice their skills.

Blue – Mental Skills such as Focus, Self-discipline, Mental Skills and Memory
Emotional Skills such as Confidence, Attitude and Leadership
Physical Skills such as Balance, Coordination and Fitness
