Karate for Kids

Little Dragons Murrays Martial Arts Schools

Murray's Martial Arts Centers was one of the first schools in Rochester to create and employ a highly specialized developmental program for pre- school aged children. Our Little Dragons' program cirriculum was designed by a certified child psychologist and takes into consideration the most effective way to teach young children. Our belief is that young children must first learn the necessary skills of being a good student; focusing on tasks, standing still, paying attention, working hard, listening, following and completing directions. Our Little Dragons classes also teach the fundamentals of karate and allow for future success in the Isshin Ryu program. Students will learn basic stances, body positions, proper technique for punches and kicks, left/right, balance, coordination and more.

Upon progression into the Isshin Ryu program, our karate kids continue to receive quality instruction to help reach their fullest potential. They learn to set their own long and short term goals through our promotion system. With over 10 belts and 24 stripes between white and black belt, our students can mark their progress visually. Our karate students are encouraged to do well in school, be well behaved at home, and always display the true karate spirit.

Although we have high expectations for our karate kids with a program that is highly structured and disciplined, we don't forget to have fun! Our unique methods allow for fun in the learning process and challenge our students to be their best.

After all, at Murray's Martial Arts Centers, we pride ourselves on creating leaders!
