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 -

An Olympic Sport

 

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.
