Children’s Martial Arts

Can you imagine seeing children in Exton, Malvern, Berwyn, or Phoenixville who are now doing great in school—well-mannered, confident, self-assured, and capable—growing into the appropriate leaders for our future communities? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your work as a teacher, parent, and mentor was grasped more quickly, understood more thoroughly, and improved upon by each and every one of your children?

This sounds like a big order, and it is. Parents and guardians in Chester County and surrounding areas need all the help they can get. Both Western and Eastern families who have continued success from generation to generation have relied upon the aid of a professional martial arts community to help their children attain the strong familial goals of success, civic-mindedness, and moral strength.

At the Dragon Gym in Malvern, Exton, Berwyn, and Phoenixville, it’s not just kid’s karate martial arts; we’ve developed a martial arts curriculum that is age-appropriate. As kids grow up, they progress through physical, intellectual, emotional, and social stages of development. Our system ensures that the classes are not too easy nor too hard—they are just right to maximize a student’s potential.

Tai Chi

WHAT IS TAI CHI?

Tai Chi, an ancient art originating in China, is over 2,000 years old. Its slow, rhythmic and meditative movements are designed to enhance relaxation, inner calm, and peace.  Although these slow, gentle movements were originally designed for self-defense, they also bring body, mind and spirit into balance and harmony. In doing so, Tai Chi preserves your health, improves balance, coordination and flexibility. It also improves your quality of life and promotes longevity. As an internal art, it builds strength from the inside out, which means you can continue to develop as you age.
