Our kids (4 & 5 yrs) joined about 5 months ago and we have been so happy with the program. They have learnt confidence and thoroughly enjoy learning the new skills. The instructor is highly gifted and an intuitive educator, who instinctively knows how to make the sessions fun, challenging and get the best out of the kids. He gears the sessions well for each childs capabilities. Our kids love it.
My daughter joined 6 months ago and it has helped significantly with her self confidence. She really enjoys the classes and the level of discipline required for the classes is at just the right level for Little Dragons. The way the belt system is structured allows the young ones to feel they are personally achieving something. This is so important to keep them motivated and striving to master the moves and philosophy of martial arts.
I dont understand how you can give a child a yellow belt after two lessons! when at another school not far from you takes 6 months hmmmm chalk and cheese! and your the cheese!
Our son joined the Burridge Little Dragons program and our son enjoyed it so much and we were so impressed with the program that we opted to join the Burridge Black Belt program. As our son is nearly five, the fact that the program finishes when he obtains Black Belt means he will be training for about 4-5 years to complete this program. This is fantastic value for the program financially. We believe that Burridge are unique in offering this structure. This was a huge Win-Win for us.

“Thank so much Guys! You have totally changed Tahlia’s life! She went from being a shy kid who was bullied at school and in less than 6 months she is now a confident, respectful focused young girl who has emotional intelligence that seems beyond her years! Now 3½ years on as a qualified black belt, she is one of the most popular kids in the school, has amazing leadership skills and has been nominated for school captain!! All because of your life changing martial arts programs! Thanks again!
They are smooth talkers, saying they would help your child. But alas, they would just get the money, and push the schedule for belt exams so quickly that the program is finished in less than 3 months! Imagine a 4 year old boy having 3 belts in 3 months! Wow, he could be black belt in one year!
Most mothers I've met here are dismayed, and transferred their kids to another martial arts school. I am going with them, too. I do regret getting him to Burridge. They are just after the money, not really a heart to help children.
