Programs for Children & Young Adults
Arm
your child with Self Esteem and...
Give
your child an edge in life.
Our Judo program for children and young
adults focuses on three areas of growth:
Physical:
|
Training to provide your child with the skills
to be able to defend or escape from dangerous situations.
Exercises and drills to develop confidence, coordination
and fitness.
|
Individually attainable physical goals to encourage
your child to stand tall and proud.
Friendly competition for fun and challenge.
|
Mental:
|
|
Think
First is
a hallmark of our program. Children learn that they must
always think of the consequences of their actions.
Character Counts! Education to re-enforce the "Samurai Values"
that are part of the martial arts.
First Timers Club is a special program to encourage our students to
do the right thing the first time.
|
Emotional:
|
Children develop greater self-confidence, as they
realize that they can excel.
We work closely with students to make sure that
everyone feels like an important part of the group.
Our instructors receive monthly training on how
to work with children with disabilities, including ADD and ADHD.

Martial Arts Develop
Confidence
|
|
An attacker or
bully that preys on younger kids does so because he or she is
bigger and stronger. They use their size and strength as
an advantage.
We teach our students how to carry
themselves to avoid confrontation. It is amazing how a child
will enter our program very timid, and quiet, and after only a
few weeks, they display a noticeable confidence that carries into
their daily life.
|
Fun
It is not always serious training.
Students are able to devlop skills and have fun at the same
time
|
|
 |
Balance Board Pugel Sticks and
Sumo Wrestling are always popular.
|
Students develop reactionary
skills through blocking drills
|
|
Judo
- Gentle Way
|
|
Judo is a "soft-form"
martial art. It was developed by Dr Jigaro Kano in
1882. Dr Kano wanted to develop a safer martial art that
could be taught to school children, and used for athletic competition.
He selected the safest Ju-Jitsu techniques, and modified
them into the sport, which is known as Judo.

Interesting
Fact !!!
The colored belts
that are used by almost every modern martial art system were developed
for Judo.

Judo for Self Defense
If an adult attacks
a young person, he or she will most likely grab the child. The
best chance for escape is at that very moment. We will teach
your children how to react immediately to escape.
Avoiding dangerous
situations is 90% of self-defense. We spend a lot of time
working with your child to develop awareness, to spot danger,
and to react to avoid it.
If your child finds
himself or herself in a situation where they are in
danger, the self-defense techniques they will learn will allow
them to escape and run away for help.

Because Judo techniques
do not require a great deal of strength to perform, it is an ideal self
defense form for children and smaller individuals.
Judo was introduced to the Olympic Games
in 1964. Although it is no longer the most widely practiced martial
art in the United States, Judo is very popular around the world.
Our students have the opportunity to
participate in Local, Regional, National and International competition.
What to Expect
Your children will learn:
- How to fall safely on the mat
- How to escape from grabs
- How to apply wrist and joint locks
- How to use momentum to escape an attack
- How to do throws
- Body mechanics to better apply a technique or
throw an opponent
- How to control an opponent on the ground
- How to compete in a Judo Match
Tradition, Confidence
& Respect 
Through the study of a Traditional Martial
Art, your children will learn confidence, respect and honor. Red
Dragon students strive to become modern day Samurai. The training
they receive will carry over into their every day lives.
They will :
- Become more attentive in school.
- Show more respect for their teachers and others.
- Develop a greater feeling of self-confidence.
|
As your child studies Judo, he/she
will be taught the great responsibility they carry by knowing
how to protect themselves and those around them.
As they mature in Judo, they will
learn that they will almost never need to fight. They will display
a confidence that will keep most bullies at bay.
However, they will be able to
defend themselves or others when forced to.
|
|
Growth
The training hall will be a place to
learn and develop. Students will train both their bodies and minds.
They will learn to be more alert, and aware of their surroundings.
They will learn to develop their "Ki" or inner power. They
will learn to meditate, relax, and focus the mind. The skills
they learn will help them in school, and in their daily lives.
