From focusing, to goal setting, to self-discipline, to self-respect – kids emerge from this program changed for the better. And their parents couldn't be happier.
Build Your Child’s Confidence
Discover the Transformative Power of Martial Arts for Kids Ages 6-12
Every parent dreams of seeing their child grow up confident, focused, and full of potential. Our Little Dragons program does just that—by combining fun, age-appropriate martial arts with life lessons that help kids thrive.
Below, we share real stories of how this program has positively impacted children and their families. Whether it’s improving focus, building self-discipline, or sparking a love for learning, this program changes lives. Let it change yours, too.
To a Caring Parent,
Hi, my name is Stephen Johnson
I'd like to tell you the stories of four kinds of kids that I've seen walk through the doors of my Martial Arts academy time and time again.
Then, afterward, I'd like to tell you about how this program transformed their lives. And the joy their parents got from seeing the incredible transformations.
(Please note: On this page I say “he” a lot when talking about kids – but that's just to keep things simple. Martial Arts are just as much for girls as they are for boys!)
So without further ado…
Story #1 “ADD Kid”
Johnny could never sit still in class. His teachers thought he was just a “wild kid”. The other students would get distracted by him, and they’d have trouble focusing too.
He was smart - as smart as they come - but he just couldn’t sit still for the life of him.
If only he could focus his energy into doing one thing at a time...
Story #2 “Too Easy Going”
It wasn’t that Rebecca wasn’t smart - she just never applied herself at anything
She was a bit “too” easy going. She didn’t have anything that she was truly passionate about.
As a result, her grades suffered. She could easily make As, but she just didn’t pay attention.
She needed something that would really stir her up - and awaken her potential...
Story #3 “I asked you 10 times already”
Rick never does anything the first time he’s asked. Whether it’s homework, cleaning, taking the dog out - anything - it never gets done.
His parents spend countless hours, and tons of energy, just getting him to do simple things.
As a result, there’s always tension in the house
Story #4 “The Bully”
Every school has a bully. They prey on smaller kids, and kids with low self-esteem.
Jim was the second kind of kid. He was shy, and just didn’t have much confidence.
The bully at his school, Todd, always picked on him. Jim just took it.
He never stood up for himself, because he didn’t have the confidence to..
A Solution
Even though Johnny, Rick, Jim, and Rebecca are fictional – their stories are based off of very real ones. In fact, I can't tell you how many times parents have come in and told me almost these exact stories. Word for word.
But after just a few weeks of our martial arts classes, this is what happens…
Clear Focus
In martial arts, we have kids focus on one thing at a time. For younger kids, or kids with severe ADD, they may only focus for 30 seconds—but for that 30 seconds, that's all they focus on.
Then, the better and better they get at focusing, the longer we have them focus for. Eventually, kids can focus for an entire session on just one exercise or activity.
And they never get bored or antsy, because every activity is fun, engaging, and thoughtfully structured.
Before you know it, they do this at home too. They focus on their homework, chores, conversations with you, and anything else they put their mind to.
Determined to Succeed
From Day 1 in martial arts, your child sets goals and accomplishes them. The more they do this, the more ambitious they become.
Eventually, they learn to set higher goals —and go after them with everything they’ve got.
They also learn that fulfillment and respect are earned through completing challenges.
Because of this, kids who go through martial arts are more likely to succeed later in life. A recent study showed that 63% of black belts become college graduates!
They then go on to live wonderful, fulfilling lives—and even pass these principles down to their own children.
Self-Respect
When it comes to bullies, kids in martial arts don’t back down. They have the confidence to look a bully in the eyes and stand their ground.
This is what nearly always happens:
The bully gets scared and backs down!
It happens 9 times out of 10. And for the 1 time out of 10 the bully doesn’t back down—your child has the tools to defend themselves. If necessary, they’ll be able to get away safely and seek help from an authority figure.
Most confrontations can be talked through. Occasionally, however, words aren’t enough. For either situation, your child will be prepared.
No one will be able to hurt them or take anything away from them.
Completing Tasks the First Time They're Asked
In martial arts, we have just a few simple rules. One of those rules is that when your child is asked to do something – they do it the first time. Without being asked again.
We never yell at kids or scold them if they don’t do this. But every kid picks it up quickly because they see the other kids in the class doing it too. And they want to make friends and be part of the group.
It’s usually a matter of just a couple weeks before kids start doing this at home, too. I can’t tell you how many parents have thanked me profusely when it starts to happen — it’s often a turning point for families.
For parents of children who have a hard time following directions, this is truly a blessing. The shift is not only immediate but continues to grow as their confidence and sense of discipline improve.
Finally Paying Attention — Thriving Like Never Before
Parents of children with attention problems breathe sighs of relief after just a few short weeks.
That’s because, in martial arts, we teach kids to look people in the eyes when they’re being spoken to. We show them how to demonstrate respect and focus—skills that quickly become second nature.
Through fun, engaging exercises, kids build stronger listening skills and improve their ability to follow directions. Over time, these lessons lead to better focus at home, in school, and even during social interactions.
After just a few short weeks, kids naturally start paying attention on their own. They look up, stay engaged, and truly listen.
Parents and teachers often exchange looks of amazement as they witness the transformation. The changes aren’t just noticeable—they’re life-changing.
Weight Loss
These days, it’s easy for kids to fall into a sedentary routine, spending hours on screens and not getting enough physical activity. As a result, many children experience weight challenges at an early age. Our program provides a fun and engaging way for kids to stay active, burn off energy, and build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Martial Arts is an Amazing Form of Exercise
Your child will be active from start to finish during every class. They'll be learning new moves, playing games, and developing their strength, coordination, and agility. And while we’ll encourage them to do their best, there’s no pressure to do anything they’re not ready for.
Think of it as the perfect mix of fitness and fun — without the boot camp vibe. ;-)
Most importantly, they'll have a ton of fun
And if they happen to be overweight – our martial arts classes will help them get down to a healthy weight. This reduces risk of increasing many health problems that can occur now, and later on in life.
Our Kids' Martial Arts also increases energy, alertness, and overall happiness.
Parent's tell us their children have never felt better.
There are honestly countless other benefits kids get with martial arts.
But rather than tell you about them myself- just listen to what these parents had to say..
"A Significant Change, in only two short weeks."
Gary has always had a bit of a temper, but I've already noticed the change. He's more respectful to me. And his teachers can't believe it! He calls them “ma'am” and “sir”. No other kid in his class shows their teachers this much respect.
It really makes me feel great, and I feel like I've done a great thing for myself and my child by enrolling him in this martial arts class.
- Paula Wright, Gary's Mom
"She just can't wait for 'martial arts days'..."
At first I wasn't sure if Ashley would like the program. After all, she's only 6, so she never really sticks to anything.
Boy was I wrong! She gets extremely upset if we ever have to miss a class now. And I can tell she's more focused, more attentive, and just all around happier after starting this program.
- Susan Acosta, (Ashley's Mom)
"The Bully Backed Down"
When Brian got off the bus today, and got in the car, he couldn't stop talking about how he stood up to this bully who had been picking on him for weeks! He said the bully backed down, and everyone saw it!
I got so choked up that he looked at me and asked me why I was crying.
I just told him I was so proud of him.
- Andrea Leonard, Brian's (age 8) Mom
"Unbelievable! He did his homework the first time I asked!"
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Michael did his homework today, the first time I asked him!
I’m still in shock! I know it’s because of what he learned in class!
You have put together an incredible program.
Thank you so much.
- Marci Williams, (Michael's Mom)
It’s results like these that I live for.
When I hear stories like these - I know I’m in the right profession.
Where else could I get to hang out with the coolest kids on earth - and help their parents at the same time?
It’s truly an honor for me to serve you and your child.
You can see these results, too!
Maybe even better!
