The Junior class is a physically challenging class that instills the importance of discipline, respect and integrity. Similar to the Pee Wee program, our Junior students receive a basic education in Kempo Karate in order to build a foundation with powerful stances, blocks, punches, and kicks. Even for our white belt students, we endeavor to apply a higher level of rigor and standard for excellence in the martial arts. To that end, we strongly encourage our junior students attend at least 2 classes a week. This commitment represents the bare minimum time investment that will allow our junior students to achieve proficiency in this system.
As their skills increase the students then begin training in our foundation system, Dragon Fist, which is a style that incorporates many different martial arts to form a holistic discipline, developed by our Grandmaster Sijo John Oliva.
At this level, Junior Students are expected to begin learning practical application of the Martial Arts including self-defense techniques, how to avoid and evade an opponent, and how to protect themselves. More importantly, students begin to understand the correlation between working hard towards a goal and accomplishing that goal.
Twin Dragon philosophy on “chasing the belt”: We feel it’s the student that makes the belt not the belt that makes the student. Don’t Chase the belt!
