USA Karate Smithfield, Rhode Island

We designed our “Lil' Dragon” program to be fun and to encourage self-discipline through physical activity. Large motor skills, such as punching, and kicking are a great way for children to develop coordination and balance. In each class, the children participate in group activities, that help to foster a sense of camaraderie. By sharing common goals, many of the children have an easier time making friends and thus improve their social skills. Our certified and professional staff uses positive reinforcement to help build the child’s self-confidence and to help them develop a positive attitude. Parents are often amazed at the improvements in their children’s self-discipline. Our accomplishment-based system of colored belts helps to teach the children to set and achieve goals. Listening skills improve and attention spans increase as the children strive to achieve their next colored belt. Our staff works closely with you to make sure that all of your goals are reached as well!

There are many benefits for children who train in martial arts. While most parents expect their children to learn the basic tenets of self-defense in our classes, many are surprised when their children’s martial arts training also carries over into other aspects of their lives. We designed our rules-based children’s program to be fun and to help them to develop physically, mentally, and socially. Our certified and professional staff follows and teaches five rules to help the children progress in our achievement-based system of colored belts.
