Benoit's Dragons Karate Program

Designed for 6 & 7 Year-Olds

Benoit's Dragons Karate Program is a developmentally appropriate karate program designed specifically for children 6 and 7 years of age. Through positive encouragement, this program emphasizes discipline, respect, builds character and confidence and develops coordination, strength and flexibility. The Dragons Program also teaches children to concentrate and gives them a sense of accomplishment.

The Dragons Program is a great way for children to expend their energy in a safe learning environment.

Motivational Programs and Promotional Testing

Promotional testing occurs every two to three months. When a Dragon is proficient in all the testing elements in their respected belt level, they are notified of their elegibility and testing date(s).

Students are required to wear full uniform on testing days and ensure that they are on time.

Every child is different, therefore we need to be flexible in assessing their progress. Benoit's ensures that their students feel good about themselves and feel good about what they learn in the martial arts.

Motivating young children over a period of time can be quite challenging. Benoit's has taken this into consideration and has belt programs specific to the Dragons.
