Kids Programs

Strengthening Minds, Bodies and Spirits

LITTLE DRAGON (4-5 years old)

With our Little Dragons we focus on reinforcing some of the values you are looking to instill in your children – respect, discipline and self-confidence.  Basic moves and techniques are presented in a fun and high-energy atmosphere.  On completion of the Little Dragon course, at age 6, the student will easily transfer their skills and rank to the Junior Aiki Kempo program.

JUNIOR AIKI KEMPO (6-13 years old)

Older children benefit from the same classes as our adults; however, they have been geared toward younger minds and bodies.  Forms and techniques are honed and refined as they move through each rank, building strong bodies and confident minds and spirits. 

Classes begin and end with MAT CHAT where we discuss personal and street safety and work on various character building exercises, building on our seven rules of conduct – Humility, Effort, Etiquette, Character, Sincerity, Self Control and Respect.

SWAT TEAM

This is an elite group of students who have attained the minimum rank of Purple Belt and are volunteering their time to help others in class. They are Eastern Dragon Karate role model students who are hand picked and recommended to the Grandmaster to be black belt instructors some day.

SWAT participants volunteer their time to assist in one class per week, starting them on the path to becoming an instructor in the Aiki Kempo discipline.  Participants learn teaching skills and serve as role models to other students.  They represent all the principles that Eastern Dragon School embodies – Responsibility, Attendance, Personal Skills and Great Attitudes!
