Build Unshakable Confidence, Focus, and Essential Life Skills.
It is never too early to set them up for success. Our specialized "Little Dragons" program is the leading preschool martial arts in Perth, designed specifically for ages 3 to 6. We help your child develop crucial motor skills, deep respect, and practical safety awareness in a completely secure, encouraging environment.

Setting the Foundation for Life
AKids 3-6yrs
Character & Cognitive Growth
The ages of 3 to 6 are the most critical years for building the foundation of a child's personality. Whether you are seeking martial arts classes for 3 year olds transitioning into early preschool, or specific martial arts for 4-6 year olds in Perth, we specifically designed the Little Dragons curriculum around early developmental stages. Through fun, engaging games, we secretly instill Discipline, Focus, Concentration, and Control. You will quickly notice an improvement in their ability to listen and behave both at home and in the classroom.
Kids 3-6yrs
Physical Growth & Personal Safety
The Swimming Pool Rule: If you are afraid of your child drowning, you teach them to swim so they are safe when you aren't watching. Our program applies this same logic to personal safety. Alongside building their Fitness, Balance, and Coordination, we actively teach Stranger Awareness and safe Confrontation Management. We give you the ultimate peace of mind knowing your child is developing the independence to manage situations safely.

A Certified, Rewarding Journey.
Teaching preschoolers requires an entirely different skill set than teaching adults. At ATI Martial Arts, every single Little Dragons instructor is specifically trained in early childhood engagement and is fully Working With Children Certified.
We believe in constantly rewarding positive behavior to build self-esteem. Throughout their 3-year journey, your child will earn "Skill Stripes" to recognize their achievements.

My son has now been part of the Little Dragons Program for just over a year now at Joondalup, I couldn't highly recommend them enough. He loves going each week, the instructors are just fantastic with the kids and I have loved watching his confidence grow so much in 12 months.

Parent - Little Dragons
Our 3 year old loves ATI and his teachers. It has been fun watching him develop over the past few months and seeing him practise at home and show off his moves to granny and grampa when we get home from class. Would 100% recommend to anyone with a very active and busy child as it is a great way to move some of that energy. Can't wait to see what he does next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my 3-year-old too young to start?
Not at all! In fact, it’s the perfect time. The Little Dragons program is tailored specifically for the shorter attention spans and developmental milestones of 3 to 6-year-olds. We keep the classes fast-paced, highly interactive, and incredibly fun.
Will martial arts make my child aggressive?
The exact opposite. Martial arts training heavily emphasizes self-control, respect, and discipline. We teach children that martial arts is for self-defense and fitness only, and we actively educate them on how to manage conflict calmly without resorting to aggression.
Are the instructors qualified to teach young children?
Absolutely. Safety and proper guidance are our highest priorities. All of our Little Dragons instructors undergo specific training to work with preschoolers and hold valid Working With Children certifications.
Do parents stay and watch the classes?
Yes! We actively encourage friends and family to stay, watch, and be a part of the journey. Watching your child achieve their next Skill Stripe or pass their graduation test is a proud moment we want you to share.
