In order to thoroughly develop each skill and at the same time make your child's training fun and motivational, the Junior Dragons curriculum specifies one skill per class.
The curriculum includes a variety of drills used to teach each skill.
These skills are easy to follow and fun to do.
Young children learn more by play, and in your child's eyes, these drills are more like games.
The games will help your child retain more, and be more willing to learn and do things he or she normally wouldn't enjoy doing.
Lessons often also include a life skill session as well to help with charactor development and safety
After the 1st Grading (White Belt / Yellow Stripe) Junior Dragons progress onto a rotating curriculum. The way the rotating curriculum works is that each 3 months cycle new skils are taught to the entire class. There a total of 8 cycles (A-H) in the Junior Dragons programs with new and separate skills taught at each cycle. Belts represent how many cycles a student has successfully tested for and passed. So student who has passed 6 cycles will be on a higher belt than a student who has passed only 2 cycles. It is arranged in such a way that we can teach a class of varying belt ranks the same material at the same time.
This compares to the conventional linear systems where, for each belt, there is a set curriculum on which students are tested before they can begin to learn the curriculum for the next belt.
The 2 keys to the Rotating Curriculum are
1. The division of the syllabus into a number of discrete, independent segments.
2. No single segment is attached to a specific belt rank.
A Rotating Curriculum enables us to teach the same material to students of different ranks at the same time, resulting in many important benefits to students and teachers, including,
