Children's Programs
Give Your Child The Gift Of Self Confidence
. . . and a huge head start in life!
Lil' Dragon Program - At TDS Family Martial Arts & Fitness Centers, we have a special program for children ages 4 – 7. This program, called our Lil' Dragon program, focuses on life skills. The attention span of a 4 – 7 year old is much different than that of an older child or an adult so their program must also be different. We place a strong emphasis on focus, discipline, confidence, self control and respect. We also work on balance, coordination, help build self esteem, increase awareness and do teamwork drills. The children are learning valuable skills that will carry over into everything they do in life. We frequently switch activities so they stay interested and have tons of fun, all while learning these important skills.
Basic Beginning Program - This is our beginning Tang Soo Do program for ages 8 and up.
Are you doing everything you can to:
- Arm your child to succeed in life?
- Help them be the best they can be in school?
- Develop their self confidence?
- Assist them in developing their unique potential?
- Teach them self discipline?
Most parents do everything they can to teach these and other important skills to their children. We can help. The more these skills are reinforced, the better they are learned. Students who attend TDS are a step up because we reinforce these important life skills such as focus, discipline, confidence, respect, perseverance, positive mental attitude, self discipline and goal setting. We help them learn how to develop these skills to their fullest. These are success traits that will pay off for the rest of their lives.
Here are a few of the benefits of training at TDS:
- Improved concentration through what we call the "Rules of Concentration"
- More self esteem and improved self confidence
- Understanding self control and why it is absolutely necessary for success

A Letter To The Parent
Dear parent:
The fact that you are reading this tells me you want the very best for your child. So how do you go about preparing them for the challenges of our fast paced 21st Century? How do you teach them how to have a positive attitude, to be self motivated, to set and attain goals and to learn how to concentrate and focus? These life skills, if taught to children at a young age, can have a tremendous impact on the outcome of their lives and how successful they become.
During the many years that we have been training and teaching martial arts we have seen countless numbers of young boys and girls who were very shy and lacked anything that resembled self confidence. Some of them could not focus or concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time. Others were overweight or were slower learners than their peers. Many of these children were not doing very well in school or in social situations because of their lack of self confidence. We know that with the right direction and training their lives can be changed significantly for the better. We made it our goal many years ago that we would teach much more than just kicking and punching. We decided that our organization would specialize in personal development, teaching life skills that would make a difference. We have focused our entire program around this premise.
Over the years, we have seen thousands of children benefit from our approach to teaching martial arts:
- Overweight children who lost a few pounds through self discipline and exercise gained tremendous amounts of self esteem and self confidence.
- Smart children, who were bored in school, learned to set goals and reach higher.
- Shy children were brought out of their shell and learned to enjoy life.
- Overactive children learned to channel their energy and focus their attention.
They say that once you learn to ride a bike that you never forget. Likewise, the skills and habits of success, once learned, become a part of your child. We have witnessed this through thousands of children who have experienced our programs. We have had countless parents tell me their child is a different child after only a short time at the studio. Parents, teachers, and principals report a growth in confidence, improved self-discipline, better grades in school and on and on.
What better gift to give your child than to empower them with greater self esteem, confidence, focus and concentration. At TDS, we have developed a program which combines physical training with life skills development. Our belt promotion system is based on the principal of steady consistent improvement. Self confidence and improved self esteem are developed through a series of winning experiences. This is how it works:
- Set a goal
- Have a plan
- Work hard towards achieving that goal
- Persevere until you reach the goal
- Set higher goal
Of course the key is to make sure they succeed. How? We have a curriculum that is divided into small, achievable goals. When you set a goal, then work for it and achieve it, you begin to believe in yourself. Do that a few times and a person begins to feel successful.
It is constantly stressed to all students that karate skills require them to never be abusive or offensive and are only for use defensively.
