Little Dragons is where it starts. Three- to six-year-olds are not small adults, so we do not teach them like adults — classes move fast, drills stay short, and every one ends with a kid who feels a little braver than when they walked in.
Confidence
Confidence isn't a pep talk — it's proof. Every class your child earns a small win: a new stance, a clean kick, a stripe on the belt. Stack enough of those and it shows up at school, on the field and at home.
Focus
Kenpo is a long chain of details — feet, hands, eyes, timing. To get it right your child has to lock in, and that practice of paying attention carries straight into homework and listening at home.
Respect
Bowing in, lining up, helping a newer student — respect is built into every class. Your child learns to treat instructors, classmates and family the way a black belt would.
Following directions, waiting their turn and keeping their hands to themselves — practiced on the mat until it comes home with them.
Kicks, stances, hops and hand drills that build the motor skills every sport after this one depends on.
Answering out loud, standing in front of the class, trying something new while other kids watch.
Actual Kenpo blocks, strikes and stances — scaled down, never dumbed down.
Every class runs the same five steps, in the same order, every time. Structure is what makes progress feel inevitable instead of accidental.
01
Five minutes to get bodies moving and heads in the room. Nobody trains cold, and nobody stands around waiting for class to start.
02
Fifteen minutes on the fundamentals — stances, blocks, strikes. Kenpo is built on repetition done correctly, and this is where standards get held.
03
Two minutes, every class, on one idea worth taking home: leadership, responsibility, giving back. Small and constant beats a lecture once a year.
04
Twenty minutes on their current rank material — forms, techniques, sparring, weapons, XMA. Everyone works on the thing that is next for them.
05
Stretch, a quick check-in on what improved today, and a bow out. Kids leave knowing exactly what they are working on next time.

Six things you will not find stacked together anywhere else in Southern New Hampshire.
Classical Kenpo curriculum and standards, paired with an actual Extreme Martial Arts program — forms, weapons, tricking. Most schools in Southern NH offer one or the other, watered down.
Nine consecutive years of community votes, three Hall of Fame inductions, Small Business of the Year, and hundreds of state and national titles brought back by our competition team.
Shihan Randy Allen holds 7 black belts including 6th Degree in Kenpo, Goju Ryu and Jiu-Jitsu, and has trained with the Bujinkan and the Japanese National Goju Federation. He is still on the floor teaching.
Certifications in Early Childhood Education, DHHS Registered Site Director, Kidsafe Network Child Safety Expert, Lil Iguana Stranger Awareness Instructor, and over 1,000 bully defense and stranger awareness programs delivered.
Eleven years of doing this one way: push kids in a believe-in-you way, hold the standard, and never confuse harshness with high expectations or babying with kindness.
Little Dragons at 3, Juniors, Teen and Adult Kenpo, and Fitness Kickboxing — families train together in Hudson instead of driving to three different places.

"My son has been taking Karate for the last year. In that time, we have seen such a change in him, not only at the studio, but in school and other activities as well. His confidence has skyrocketed."
Twenty dollars, twenty days, and an honest look at whether this is the right room for your family. If it isn't, you'll know — and there's nothing to cancel.
Class sizes are capped on purpose — small enough that every student gets corrected by name. When a program fills, families wait for the next opening, so if your child is ready, now is the time.
Or call the school directly at (603) 864-8756 and talk to a human.
20 days of unlimited Little Dragons Martial Arts classes and an official school t-shirt for $20.
