About the programme

Our motto is “Lil’ Dragons today, leaders tomorrow.”

Lil Dragon is a programme suitable for those who wish to teach their children discipline. Our Lil’ Dragon classes make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help your pre-schooler be the best they can be at everything they put their minds to. Our motto is “Lil’ Dragons today, leaders tomorrow.” There are many benefits of introducing taekwondo to children at an early age. It can be instrumental in the development of a child and give them coping strategies to move forward and be a confident, happy child.

What will your child learn?

About Us Premier Taekwondo

This skill is crucial to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Your child will develop good balance and a better posture through fun, strength-building exercises.

It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. Our exercise program will help your child burn off any excess energy, enabling a better sleep pattern and set them up for a healthy lifestyle. They will learn that an exercise routine can be fun and make them feel better about themselves.

Our instructors use the Lil’ Dragons’ drills to help children learn quickly that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing. They will also follow directions better.

Many children start these sessions feeling shy but, within a few weeks, most are participating with confidence and are able to demonstrate their new skills to other members of the class. Confidence plays a huge part in the mental well-being of young children and can give them the “I can” attitude that is required to form friendships and get on well at nursery or school.

Developing a good memory is an exercise for your child’s brain. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make smart decisions independently. Starting such exercise early in life will actively help in the development of a better and stronger brain.

Your child will learn to work in a team during warm up. It is important at this age to learn to take turns and encourage others to feel part of a group.

Your child will learn “their left from their right”. They will become more confident physical participants in sports and activities. The better coordination they have, the fewer injuries they are likely to incur.

What do Parents Say?

Here is a testimonial from one of our current members who has first-hand experience of it being highly beneficial to the development of children.

Thank you so much!

Our daughter Jacey is 7 years old and has been attending Premier Taekwondo for almost 2 years. She loves the sessions and has learnt so many new skills. Recently Jacey was assessed by an Education Phycologist due to concerns with her development in learning and anxiety in school. We were surprised that her diagnosis has confirmed ADHD and dyslexia, with her main weakness being in her working memory. We were a little shocked by this outcome as she has been so successful with her gradings, remembering the patterns and having the confidence to achieve her belts….so how could this be? Apparently, ADHD represents differently in girls…who knew! The report and feedback we received from the specialists, states ‘Jacey has developed her own strategies to cope with her processing and memory’. The referral report has ‘strongly recommended’ that her participation in Taekwondo has provided her with these skills by both the way the sessions are delivered and the focus on routine. As parents we see the difference in her confidence and reduction in her anxiety when she attends her weekly class at Premier, however, we now recognise it has helped her with so much more! We initially brought both our children here to have a go at a different activity and we are very grateful to all the Masters for playing such a significant role in our daughters development and future, in both education and learning, and her health and well-being.
