Welcome to the YUSHIKAI Karate Academy

This fun-filled introduction to Karate lays a solid foundation, improves fitness levels and social skills while building character for children aged 4 & 5.

The Lil' Dragon programme teaches children to be good citizens and prepares them for life, or at least school.  This program includes lessons in safety and life skills, as well as physical martial arts skills.  These skills help the students become well rounded by promoting the child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.

We approach the physical portion of this class as a Martial Arts focused physical education class.  The life skills portion of the class focuses on developing mental, social, and emotional skills.  All skills and promotions are based on participation and course completion.  Our primary objective is to get the students involved, giving 100% effort, having fun and playing. 

The focus of the Lil' Dragon class is to develop fundamental basics. Therefore, we teach very few of the martial arts skills that you will see in older children's programmes.  Instead, we focus on the skills they need BEFORE entering the older classes.
