Little Dragons

The LIttlest Dragons meet twice weekly for about 25 minutes.  The focus with this age group is:

• Acclimate the students to group learning.  This is often these students first time in a “class” and there may be an adjustment as they learn to navigate a structured learning routine.
• We focus a lot on gross motor skills while incorporating some martial art basics.  Over time we’re able to “flip” the balance and focus more on more their karate skills.
• Have fun!  Students will not continue training if they are not having fun.  We work hard to maintain a traditional martial art environment while also making learning engaging and fun.

The LIttle Dragons meet twice weekly for 45 minutes.  The focus with this age group is:

• Build on their growing, basic martial art skills.
• Continue developing gross motor skills through a variety of active learning and movement activities.
• Expand their growing vocabulary of terminology in Korean.
• Increase expectations around behavior, discipline and traditional martial art etiquette.
• Prepare them for advancement, both in rank and readiness for moving into the All Ranks classes.
• Have fun!  As with the Littlest Dragons, students have to want to come to class.  That happens when they feel encouraged; have made friends and have fun.  At Crooked River, we believe we can have fun and maintain a traditional martial art school environment.
