Q. What about children?
Our Children's Program is designed to teach your child about self-discipline, achievement, confidence, and self-defense. We also believe training in martial arts is a great way to help your child develop life-skills such as work ethic, discipline, confidence, and more. Come and check out a kids class to see what it's all about!
Q. Could martial arts influence my child to be too aggressive?
At Black Dragon Kai children (and parents) learn that martial arts is not an act of violence, but the art of how to handle one's self in a difficult situation.
Aggressive behavior is channeled into positive energy to increase the child's self esteem and build discipline and character. Self Discipline and Self Control are a big part of training with us, and so is understanding when self defence is required and when it is not.
Q. Is there an age limit?
Each centre teaches different classes for different age groups based on their year at school. Our most comprehensive centres teach separate classes for Kindy & Prep, Grade 1 & 2, Grade 3 & 4, Grades 5-7 and Adult/Teen classes. Check the Timetable of the centre closest to you anc check what classes are available there.
Q. Can parents train with their kids.
As a general rule no, if children are below the age of 13 they cannot train in the adult classes. This is to ensure that the children are learning appropriate techniques and have others their size in which to practice with. It is also to ensure that the adults training is practiced and taught in a mature environment and any partner work can be fully participated in. Children and adults learn and practice in a different way and we aim to teach our students in the most effective and efficient manner.
Q. Do women and girls train with Black Dragon Kai?
Yes! Some of our best martial artists & World Champions are female. Because Black Dragon Kai's philosophy is to teach the most practical and efficient martial arts techniques, age, size and gender are irrelevant, so our programs suit women and children, not just adult males.
