PROGRAMS

TOTS AGES 4-6

Your Child's Safety is Our Main Concern.

Children as young as four years old are accepted into our program once they pass a simple evaluation and orientation. Our Tots Classes are fast-paced, fun filled, educational and motivational. Kids love Karate and parents love watching their kids learn and grow in a positive, well-disciplined and encouraging atmosphere.

Each class is filled with exciting, hi-energy drills and games that are carefully designed to develop important life skills. Classes start simple and gradually become more challenging based on each child's individual pace and readiness for new material. All lessons are based on positive recognition, reward and reinforcement for effort, skill, manners, sportsmanship and respectful treatment of others. Martial Arts training builds a strong foundation that can easily be applied in academics, sports, arts and social settings outside the dojo.

KIDS AGES 7-13

An Investment in your child's Future

Every parent wants the best for their child, but how do you prepare them for all the challenges that they face in today's world? How do you teach them the motivation, discipline, and proper attitude necessary for success?

Teaching children basic traits like goal setting and self esteem at a young age can have a massive impact on what that child accomplishes in later life. Purple Dragon motivates children and teaches them confidence, coordination, physical fitness and etiquette. Our program is highly supervised by qualified Instructors. The children are never asked to perform any movement that would put them in danger of injury.

Our primary focus is to teach and Arm our children with "life skills." Because a structure of respect, courtesy and honesty is built into the Don Jitsu Ryu system, children develop the ability to listen, learn and achieve within a highly regulated environment.

TEENS

Equipping kids with the tools they need to tackle their journey into adulthood

You will develop skills to overcome your fears and successfully deal with life challenges in high school and beyond. At Purple Dragon, our goal is to teach basics such as self-confidence, self-esteem, control, and self-defense in fun and exciting ways, enabling you to gain control of your body's physical abilities and help you maintain a positive mental attitude.

Don Jitsu Ryu training will develop a mindset that guides teens toward a non-quitting spirit to overcome obstacles and to become a successful achiever. Our training instills confidence through positive coaching, encouragement and a powerful mentoring relationship with Black Belt leaders. We also teach valuable life skills that focus on goal-setting, positive attitude, relationship building and communication skills.

CARDIO-KICKBOXING

More benefits than any health club! Fat Loss; experts rate cardio kickboxing as the number one fat burner, with over 800 calories burned in a one hour class! Nothing else comes close. Toning; you'll get tight buns, toned legs, a flat stomach, and a strong upper body without spending hours lifting weights! Plus you'll get a healthy cardiovascular workout. Stress Reliever. Let's face it, this is a major benefit.

Our students tell us that some of the reasons why they can't get enough is because of the increased flexibility and self confidence. A major benefit of increased flexibility is better blood circulation, and a more relaxed overall lifestyle. Self Confidence; we all know that when you look good, you feel good. Imagine adding, "and I know I can take care of myself," to the equation. There is no better feeling than knowing you are in shape and you can defend yourself if you ever have to.

We will teach you how to stretch, how to hold your guard and how to use pads with a partner for speed and reaction time. You can expect to receive a great cardio vascular workout while learning modern and practical kickboxing techniques. We do every thing a champion does to get in great shape. Kicking is great for the abs, buns, and thighs. Punching is great for the back, arms, and shoulders it's the perfect full body workout and its fun. After a few weeks of taking the classes you're likely to build endurance while improving your speed, power, and agility. All you have to do is show up we provide the motivation and equipment.
