New for 2011 is ‘Little Dragons Kickboxing’
Little Dragons Kickboxing classes are designed for 4 to 8 year olds. It is an excellent way for any child who wants to have fun, whilst learning Martial Arts, self-defense, co-ordination and discipline. The classes are for the children to have fun, whilst learning respect, and how to get along with other children and learning how to pay attention whilst being taught the very basics of kickboxing. This class is often a child’s first learning environment before attending formal education.
Class every Monday 6.00 pm – 6.45 pm
Victoria Park Leisure Centre, Ilkeston

In the Little Dragons Class there is NO CONTACT or any type of fighting/sparring. As with our regular kickboxing classes we do not teach our students simply to punch and kick each other. With all our junior classes any type of contact is done using specifically designed equipment for children. We will teach your child a wide variety of skills such as respect for others, safety and discipline.
We use a simple grading or progressive reward scheme that is not as formal or tested as our regular gradings. The children are given a ‘Star’ to wear on their belt as they demonstrate understanding of basic techniques.
As well as being taught basic martial arts skills and techniques your child is also taught -
- Stranger Danger awareness
- Basic First Aid
- Home emergency
- Fitness through fun & games
- Self Defense
- Mixing with other children
- Memory Skills
Each class has a particular theme such as balance, co-ordination, memory, working as a team, home safety amongst many others. It is taught in a fun and interesting way that your child can easily understand using simplified drills and techniques from our regular kickboxing classes.
The class is taught by midlands PKA instructor Jo Jones who is a full time parent and has lots of experience with teaching children martial arts and classes outside of our regular kickboxing classes. Jo is also assisted by Coach Amie Thacker, because of her age Amie has great connections with the Children/Juniors and aspires herself to be a primary school teacher.
