Little Dragon Classes

Wing Chun Kung Fu Twickenham's Little Dragon Classes are the perfect opportunity for children aged 4 to 6 years old to dive into the world of martial arts. With a primary focus on Wing Chun Martial Arts, these classes go beyond just teaching kicks and punches. They strive to instil important life skills and leadership values in our young participants.

In fact, the curriculum is carefully designed to dedicate 80% of the program to the development of these invaluable life skills, such as discipline, respect, and teamwork. We believe that martial arts is not just about physical strength, but also about shaping character and behaviour.

During the Phase 1 curriculum, beginners are introduced to martial arts through fun and energetic classes. Children will learn basic hand and leg movements, as well as significant etiquette in a martial arts environment. They will discover the joy of welcoming each other and getting ready for class, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Of course, physical aspects are not neglected! The children will also be taught basic striking and kicking techniques, helping them improve coordination and balance. In the final phase of Phase 1, a self-defence program is introduced, where children learn basic self-defence movements. Partner training is emphasised to teach children how to interact with each other in a controlled and respectful manner.

Moving on to Phase 2, our Little Dragon Classes continue to progress through different grades. This phase introduces children to the beginner material of the adult Wing Chun System. While the emphasis still remains on life skills development, children start drilling in greater detail the physical elements of martial arts. Our goal is to nurture not only their physical abilities but also their character, preparing them for success in all aspects of their lives.

Confidence, discipline, and respect are core values that we aim to instil in children through our Little Dragon Classes. We believe in empowering them to handle challenges they may face, such as bullying, and equipping them with the tools to thrive.

So, if you're looking for an activity that goes beyond just physical exercise and fosters holistic growth, look no further than Wing Chun Kung Fu Twickenham's Little Dragon Classes. Join us and watch your child's confidence soar as they embark on an exciting martial arts journey mixed with life skills education.
