  Afterschool programs are an important part of a child’s life. With even 3 hours per day in the program, children who attend every weekday end up spending 60 hours, or 2.5 full days in their afterschool program. It’s easy to see how the program makes a large impact – but how do you make sure that impact is truly valuable for your child? Look for an effective martial arts after school program. We’ll describe exactly what that looks like below. Quality Programming : It’s common for afterschool programming to have a theme based on the organization hosting it. Our taekwondo dojo offers a martial arts afterschool program. However, we offer more than just martial arts. All afterschool programming should seek to enrich the whole child, with thoughtful programming that does more than just help them burn their energy off. Our programming does more than teach your child taekwondo. We also: Provide homework help Provide educational programming Provide other physical activities Provide creati...

 In a way, all martial arts are growing and changing over time. Jiu jitsu and Brazilian jiu jitsu have potentially changed the most of all. The evolution of typical jiu jitsu into the jiu jitsu we practice in Milton is an interesting story and one that informs how we compete in this sport. What is BJJ? BJJ stands for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It is a modern martial art which is used in MMA and is practiced throughout the world (despite that fact that it has “Brazilian” in the name.) There‘s a wide use of submission holds, joint-locks, chokeholds and ground fighting techniques in jiu jitsu. It’s a strong martial art to use to round out your physical skills, particularly if the main martial art that you practice doesn‘t focus much on ground fighting. The Evolution of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu There is a traditional Japanese martial art called jujitsu. This art seeks to give smaller, weak opponents an advantage they wouldn’t usually have over larger, stronger opponents. It focuses on leverage an...

  You might frequently hear from black belt academies for taekwondo that martial arts and earning a black belt specifically help children (and even adults) develop and refine their character. How can a simple physical practice help you become a better person? Someone who is more focused, disciplined, and in charge of their self-image? We’ve seen many children and people grow through getting a  black belt in taekwondo , even if they started off as pretty good people   1. Black Belts are Personal   There are no public wins, goal-scoring, or glory-hogging in martial arts. Everything that you accomplish, you do on your own schedule and for yourself. There is still a public appreciation for achievements, of course. But it is not the same kind of environment as team sports, where one person or child seems to take more of the credit for a win, or a loss, than others. Black belts are always personal, and that helps you focus on yourself.   2. Balanced Challenge   W...

  Have you thought of letting your kids get some winter fun in at Dragon Taekwondo? Martial arts are a perfect pursuit for the colder months. Here are seven reasons why your kids should try a winter camp with us. 1. Get Exercise In It’s no secret that it is harder for kids to exercise and burn off steam when it’s cold outside. You may need to make up for the lack of outdoor activity with some more planned indoor activities. Kids can enjoy exercising during winter taekwondo camps despite the cold. 2. Social Development When kids are playing less outside, they are also spending more time online. That isn’t necessarily bad unless it cuts into their development, particularly their social development. You can break the screen cycle and get your kid face-to-face with other kids in a  martial arts class . 3. Stress Relief When you burn off energy, focus on movement, and get out of the house for a bit, you feel a big stress relief boost. Kids are the same way. Modern life puts a lot o...

  We run kids’ taekwondo classes for “little dragons.” These are children from four to six. While young children are still developing their interests and personalities, there are things you can do to support their interest in martial arts and other goals for their development that are enhanced by martial arts. Here are some of our best ideas to help you support your little dragons, other than by enrolling them in karate classes for kids. After Class Debriefing One of the best ways to encourage your child’s interest in anything is simply to talk to them about it. For young children, who may not remember much about the class a few days later, the best time to talk to them about it is right after. Having a  little dragons karate class  debriefing on the ride home or when you get home is a great idea. Ask your child how their class went, what they learned, what they are trying to improve, or other questions about martial arts. This is a good practice for parents who don’t kno...

  Children need to be supervised after school and we believe that a quality after-school program offers your children more than just a safe environment with adult supervision. Instead, we believe that you can get more with quality after-school karate classes. Discover how your child can benefit from a program with a more substantial and thoughtful curriculum with our after-school programs in Oakville. Safe Travel Our staff is well trained and undergoes police background checks to ensure that they can provide your children with safe travel from school to the dojo. We have cameras in all the vehicles we use for this purpose to ensure they are safe. Another staff member will greet your child at the facility and all children have their temperature taken and their hands sanitized before they come in. We go to great lengths to ensure your child is always in a safe environment. Focus, Respect, and Values Sometimes the values you learn are more important than physical skills. Taekwondo emp...
