Dragons
The Dragons Program is specifically designed for 7 to 13 year olds.
Our Dragons program emphasizes the respect and etiquette inherent in the martial arts. We re-enforce the positive aspects of the martial arts by teaching self-discipline rather than just discipline. We strive to improve confidence, self-control, and concentration. We teach mental attributes of perseverance, initiative and prioritize and much more as well as our School Safe/Street Safe curriculum. Our Martial Arts curriculum takes the best from Karate/ Kung Fu /Escrima/ Jiu-jitsu and Wrestling to teachthe kids of this age group the best from each system of Martial arts but our Wing Tsun Kung Fu and our Latosa Escrima are our main styles at the school.
In the Beginner Program (White Belt to Blue Belt) we focus mainly on Blocks, Kicks, Punches and basic Karate and wrestling movements as well as fundamental Wing Tsun Kung Fu.
In the Advanced Program (Blue Belt to Jr. Black Belt) we focus on continuing the foundation skills learned in the Beginner class but we utilize more application and theory to really help each Martial Artist learn to apply their Personal Development words to improve what they do in their daily life and their martial arts abilities.
We also focus on teaching the kids in this age group "How things Work". We do not expect them to just be able to perform within their martial arts skills. We also have a very strong leadership program where every student "once they have gained a few ranks" will be asked to "Lead" lower level students within specific "Skill" oriented activities, This process will enhance and help them gain leadership skills within their own peer groups and that of the younger student body as well as teach them more about how to balance themselves around others.
Some of the many benefits of our classes are: enhanced confidence, anger management, improved study skills, non-violent conflict resolution, improved communication skills, problem solving, fitness, and many more.
"The Bay Mountain Martial Arts has had a profound and positive impact on our family life. My son's motor skills, self-discipline, and sense of achievement have dramatically improved since he began learning BMMA's Dragon Program three years ago. The school also particularly excels at a holistic approach to Martial Arts instruction and adapting the curriculum for both youth and adults. I have been taking kempo myself for one year and six months and have been able to apply the attributes of focus and relaxation to my daily life. In addition to being in exceptional physical condition, I am enjoying sharing a learning experience at home with my son. I would not hesitate in recommending Bay Mountain Martial Arts to anyone."
