We also seek out those that are leaders and cultivate them to be better leaders in the class and ultimately in later life. As with our Little Dragons, Kung Fu offers so many benefits to your child. Check out the Ten Reasons Kids Benefit from Learning Kung Fu on the Kwoon Info and FAQ page.

Youth Dragons 14-17 yrs

Most Youth Dragons have aged up from our younger dragon classes and may be intermediate or advanced. These youth provide help and guidance to the new youth members joining our kwoon. Leadership and responsibility are key points here as well as the other items mentioned above. Below is a statement from one of our youth dragons and future leaders:

“Growing up, the kwoon was like my second home. It was here that I learned not just kung fu, but about life. It instilled me in values like discipline, respect, and perseverance. Over the past seven years, I've learned things that I wouldn't have learned without kung fu. I learned how to keep balance in my life, how to treat others, and how to be a better person…And when I look back at old pictures and memories, it reminds me of how far I've come and how proud I should be of myself.”

She continued to say; “Kung fu is a part of who I am. It's not just something I do, it's the person I am. It influences my actions, my decisions, it's the key to who I am as a whole. I continue to train because it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Each training brings me new insights about myself and my capabilities. I wouldn’t be the person I am if it weren’t for Kung fu, and more specifically, Lai Tung Pai. It's not just a hobby or an after-school activity for me, it is who I am and who I want to continue to be.” A.K. 15 years old.

We are so proud to have you be a part of our kwoon!
