Development of Life-Skills

At Kassebaum's Martial Arts, our Dragon Squad program is specifically designed for children aged 7 to 12, serving as a pivotal step toward our Teen and Adult programs. Building upon foundational skills, this program emphasizes the development of a positive mental attitude, goal setting, perseverance, self-control, and confidence.

More Complex Physical Training

In the Dragon Squad, students engage in more complex physical training and delve deeper into life skills as their comprehension abilities grow. The program is structured to be both fun and fulfilling, recognizing each child's individuality and promoting active participation. Students train alongside peers of similar age and size, progressing at their own pace under well-supervised conditions.

Students Advance with Belt Ranks

Advancement in the Dragon Squad is marked by earning martial arts belt ranks, acknowledging personal growth and achievement. Beyond physical skills, the program instills discipline, respect, and focus, providing a robust foundation for personal development. Students are also recognized for outstanding performance in various settings, including martial arts classes, school, home, special events, or tournament competitions.

We understand how many challenges you face as a parent(s), raising a child in the modern world. Teaching children to know right from wrong is one of the toughest challenges parents have to face.

Protecting them from peer pressure, bullying and internet predators can make any parent feel overwhelmed with anxiety and stress.

Our Dragon Squad program is the perfect companion to help you raise a strong, confident leader, teaching confidence, focus & self-defense skills.

By participating in the Dragon Squad, your child will not only enhance their physical fitness but also cultivate essential life skills that contribute to their overall development and success.

A strong sense of RESPECT

The traditional nature of martial arts teaches kids respect in their classes, whether they are taking a bow or waiting patiently for the next set of instructions. This sense of respect also helps kids improve their grades, while improving their listening skills at home and in school.

Learn Goal-Setting Skills

Belt testing provides an excellent exercise for kids in learning how to set and achieve goals. Their self-esteem will continue to rise with each accomplishment as they watch their hard work pay off.

Improves Focus and Self-Control

Complex physical activities such as martial arts have proven to strengthen the brain’s neural networks, helping kids improve their focus and self-control. This can be especially beneficial for kids with ADD/ADHD.

Parents do you know that group activities benefit your child in a number of ways . . .

Developmental Growth

Group activities are a great opportunity for young children to further develop their social skills through structured interaction, using language to express their thoughts and needs with peers.

Develop Cooperation Skills

By working with their peers towards a common goal, children will further develop their cooperation skills, conversation skills, and discover how to share and be fair.

Interaction and Togetherness

Friendships will be encouraged between children who do not normally play together, exposing your child to the concept of working with different types of people with different points of view.

Do not let YOUR CHILD become a STATISTIC!

What makes Kassebaum's Martial Arts different from other Martial Arts Schools?

After beginning my martial arts journey in Lincoln, Nebraska, I began to see the positive impact it had on my life. For over 25 years we have brought that positive impact to our community through our students. It is my goal to create an enjoyable environment for students to learn self defense and improve their fitness while building confidence they can carry into their everyday lives.
