Why Character is Our Core Focus
In a world full of distractions, we believe character is what truly sets children up for success. Our Dragons syllabus is rooted in the principles of discipline, kindness, perseverance, and responsibility.
Each stage of the program is crafted to match the developmental needs of children aged 7–12, helping them grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.
We:
Instil integrity, discipline, respect, and resilience through age-appropriate life lessons and martial arts techniques.
Promote responsibility and goal-setting with regular, structured graduation milestones every two months.
Develop self-control and emotional intelligence using NLP-informed coaching strategies tailored to this age group.
Foster a growth mindset by celebrating effort, improvement, and teamwork.
And by inviting parents to join the journey, we reinforce these traits in the most powerful way, by example.

What to expect from the Dragons & Family Class
What to expect from our
Dragons & Family Class
Our Dragons syllabus for ages 7–12 is uniquely designed to support character development through progressive and consistent training.
Key elements include:

Character development covering themes like motivation, perseverance, empathy, humility, and leadership
Age-specific progression through colour-striped belts that maintain motivation and a clear sense of achievement
Sparring, endurance, and teamwork challenges to build courage and confidence
Family participation that brings deeper understanding and shared growth
Students are not “tested” in a traditional sense, instead, they qualify for graduation through consistent effort, behaviour at home and school, and their growth in class.

A Clear Path with our Dragons Program & Graduation System
Our recently updated Dragons belt graduation system, specifically designed for ages 7 to 9, ensures students stay motivated and engaged.
Graduations occur every two months, with each colour stripe representing clear progress through skills, forms, and character goals.
From their first Yellow Belt White Stripe to their transition into the main Gup syllabus, and on to Black Belt, Dragon students:
- Build confidence through structured milestones
- Gain competence in martial arts forms by count
- Grow emotionally through goal-setting, endurance tests, and leadership opportunities.
This foundation prepares them not only for martial arts success, but for a lifetime of positive habits.

What our parents are saying....
"Best decision I made for the children."
"Essentially started them so they can defend themselves if needed. The classes support and equipped the children with so much more and so many different skills such as self esteem, confidence, respect, listening and discipline.
Instructors are great and full of enthusiasm. Different days or times to choose from which gives flexibility.
Both children started at the age of 4, 3 years in and I've also joined with the children which is great fun. Great club, great atmosphere.!"
- Carly, Parent of a Tiger a Dragon, and now a student herself.
"“I can’t recommend this Seven-Star Martial Arts class enough!"
"My 6-year-old absolutely loves it and looks forward to every session.
The instructors are phenomenal. Patient, energetic, and incredibly skilled at working with children.
They focus not just on teaching proper techniques, but also on important life skills like discipline, respect, and confidence.
The classes are well-structured, fun, and engaging, with the perfect balance of learning and physical activity .
I’ve already noticed a positive change in my child’s focus and coordination. It’s amazing to see the kids cheering each other on and celebrating their progress. Definitely worth every penny!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do parents have to join in?
No. However, it may not take long watching from the sidelines, before you pluck up the courage to give it a go! Just like the many other mums and dads!
Why a 1-2-1 trial class & how do I book?
In the past, we placed new students directly into regular classes from day one.
While some thrived, many children (and adults!) found it overwhelming, similar to being thrown into the deep end of a pool without knowing how to swim.
Now, with our structured 1-2-1 trials, we ensure a smoother, stress-free introduction to martial arts by:-
- Building confidence before stepping into a full group setting.
- Giving a clear understanding of what to expect in our classes.
- Providing tailored guidance based on the student’s needs, age, and experience level.
- Helping parents see the value of our structured syllabus and character development focus.
Simply click on the "Book a Trial" button and choose one of the available sessions from the calendar.
What should I wear to my first 1-2-1 trial class?
Wear comfortable clothing they can move in. Favorite track suit and t-shirt is best. You'll receive your customized Tigers uniform on enrollment!
How long do the classes last? And do you have to attend both classes?
Classes are 60 minutes long, twice a week.
We strongly recommend attending both classes every week. This we’ve found is optimal for development and best results.
When are the regular classes?
Sketty Dragons & Family class is every Mon & Wed 6.30 to 7.30pm.
Neath Dragons & Family classes are:-
Mon & Wed 6.15 to 7.15pm
OR
Tue & Thu 6.15 to 7.15pm
Is martial arts safe for children?
Absolutely!
We have over 143 square meters of matted training area at our full time Neath Center, with plenty of viewing space for parents and guardians to watch their children’s progress in our safe and supportive environment.
All of our instructors and leaders are highly trained and first aid certified.
Plus, we have a comprehensive child protection policy which is available on request or enrollment.
What about children with additional learning needs & physical disabilities?
We do our upmost to be as inclusive as possible!
Martial arts, and in particular the structure that our classes and syllabus provides can, and has worked wonders for children with additional learning needs.
All of our children's programs are specifically designed to work with, and support home life, to maximize their development.
We will do our very best to accommodate every child within our classes, no matter what their individual difference may be. However, please understand that there may be safety or health considerations that may prove too difficult for us to overcome.
The 1-2-1 trial sessions are perfect to assess everyone on an individual basis!
How much are the classes?
Classes are only £55pcm! (much cheaper than swimming, dance or gymnastics) with family discounts of up to 50% available!
There are multiple discounted enrollment options which are fully explained after the 1-2-1.
These include the first years membership, custom uniform, access to our extensive online material and training videos.
There are also additional discounted upgrade options available, as we want to be as affordable as possible.
However, I’m sure you understand, you get what you pay for, and it’s an investment into your child's future, which will be invaluable!
