The Little Dragons program is designed for our youngest students — children ages 3–5 — who are just beginning to discover movement, listening, and what it means to be part of a team. Classes combine age-appropriate Karate play with structured activities that develop motor skills, focus, and the very early foundations of self-confidence.
Each 45-minute session is paced and designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers. Students explore basic stances, simple kicks, and fun partner activities in a safe, nurturing environment. Instructors keep energy high while gently building the listening habits and respect that form the core of the Moore's Karate Lodi experience.
Many of our current black belt students started in Little Dragons. With 50 years serving Lodi families and a 5.0-star Google rating, Moore's Karate Lodi is Lodi's most trusted home for children's Karate — starting from day one.
They have lots of energy but struggle to channel it in a positive direction
They're shy or hesitant around new people and environments
You want to give them an early start on discipline, respect, and coordination
Real results — on the mats and in everyday life.
Age-appropriate movement activities, basic kicks, and partner play build gross motor skills, coordination, and body awareness — giving your child an active, healthy foundation that benefits every sport and activity they try.
Our instructors are trained to work with very young children, using engaging, fun instruction that gently builds the habit of listening and following directions — one of the most valuable skills your child can develop before starting school.
Trying something new and succeeding builds real confidence in young children. Each class gives your little one moments of achievement — a new movement mastered, a friend made, a "good job" earned — that stack up into a genuine sense of capability.
Don't take our word for it — here's what our students and parents say.
