- Anti-bully self-defense scenarios
- Discipline, listening, and respect
- Progressive Kempo belt system
- Instructor-supervised controlled contact
- Family-first environment
Big-energy fundamentals, done safely.
Little Dragons is where the first real karate skills take root. Classes focus on listening, focus games, coordination, and the fundamental movements — stances, basic blocks, and controlled striking patterns.
Expect a lot of energy, a lot of structure, and a lot of positive reinforcement. The goal at this age is not technical perfection — it is building a kid who loves to be on the mat.
Where the real curriculum begins.
By age seven, our students are ready for the full Kempo curriculum — strikes, blocks, flow drills, controlled partner work, and age-appropriate self-defense scenarios.
This is the age where confidence shifts. Parents consistently tell us their child is more focused at school, more confident with peers, and more respectful at home within a few months of consistent training.
- Striking, blocks, and controlled sparring
- Anti-bully scenario drills
- Belt-rank progression
- Respect, discipline, and leadership
Zero mystery, zero pressure.
All contact is instructor-supervised and controlled. Our head instructors have decades of experience training children safely. Parents are always welcome to stay and watch — and most do.
Classes run Tuesday and Thursday evenings at our Revolution location in northeast Colorado Springs. Your first two classes are free, and new students receive a free uniform.
