Young Dragons Kids Kung Fu ages 4 - 12 is about Focus, Discipline, Skill and Fun.

Young Dragons focus is on the Sil Lim Tao form, Advanced Sil Lim Tao form and the Wooden Dummy Form. Wing Chun stances and footwork. Wing Chun technique and self defense methods adapted for children in the modern world.

Wing Chun Chi Sao (Sticking Arm Drill) touch reflex training for close range. Kids chi sao is adapted to be more basic, educational and fun. Wing Chun punching and kicking methods, striking the padded sifu (teacher) or sihing (instructor) and kids tournament punching and kicking application.

Young Dragons Kids Sparring (all kids sparring is non-contact and students must have appropriate sparring gear) focus is on control, technique,being a good but fair competitor and most important to focus on progressing in skill.

Young Dragons Groundwork, rolling, break falls, ground defense all adapted to move from the ground and back into Wing Chun stances. Lots of fun and a great workout.

Ten level grading structure to improve confidence and progress the student to a higher mental and physical skill level in the art of Wing Chun. Gradings are only twice a year and students receive a written grading sheet with information on what to work on with all aspects of their kung fu training. Once they have passed their grading, they receive a new sash and a certificate on the day so no waiting for new level.

Competition is held at the Eastern Kung Fu Academy twice a year and is for Young Dragon members only. It is a fun, family friendly , non-toxic atmosphere with a focus on doing your best. 

Sifu Peter Atkin has been teaching children Wing Chun Kung Fu since 2003 full time and is present in all Young Dragons Kids Kung Fu classes. 

Sifu Mick Barry is the main instructor for Young Dragons, he achieved his gold sash in Wing Chun in 2017 and has been teaching kids since 2015

Siji Jo Poon (Siji-Elder Kung Fu Sister) achieved her silver sash in 2018 and instructs in most Young Dragon classes. 

All instructors are adults and all classes are structured in accordance with the term focus which is entirely based from the 10 levels of the Young Dragon grading structure.

Parents can be confident that their children will be instructed in a professional manner and a focus on getting the best out of the student rather than being the best for school. Competition is great but it is not the primary focus at Eastern. Kung Fu skills for the best life possible is what Young Dragons is about.
