Little Dragons is Desert Mountain Kenpo's introductory karate class for children ages 5-8. Taught by Master Instructor Michael Keschinger ("Mr. K"), who has been teaching martial arts since 1991, the class helps young children build focus, confidence, and respect in a fun, structured setting. We serve families in NW Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley.

Absolutely. I encourage shy kids to watch a couple of classes before getting on the mat. Once we develop trust, then I have them sit next to me if they are still nervous. Usually after that, they are running and jumping and doing great!

Absolutely. I encourage them to watch and also see what tools we use to encourage the kids so they can use them at home when they practice.
Bring a water bottle to use after class.
