Twiggs Martial Arts expands Kids Martial Arts in Ft Lauderdale with new programs that build children’s confidence, focus, and discipline.

FOR LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Twiggs Martial Arts, a leading family-focused karate and taekwondo academy in Fort Lauderdale, has announced the expansion of its Kids Martial Arts offerings with the introduction of two specialized programs — the Little Dragons program for ages 3–6 and the Junior Ninjas program for ages 7–12.

These newly structured programs are designed to meet the developmental, physical, and emotional needs of children at different stages of growth. Each class blends traditional karate and taekwondo instruction with modern character-building exercises, teamwork activities, and physical conditioning. The goal is to help kids in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, and Pompano Beach develop discipline, focus, and confidence — all while having fun in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.

“We’ve seen how transformative martial arts can be for children,” said Master Shadwick Twiggs, Head Instructor at Twiggs Martial Arts. “Our new programs are about more than just learning kicks and punches. They’re about building confidence, respect, and focus that carries into school, sports, and home life. Every child has a unique potential, and our job is to help them discover and strengthen it.”

A Modern Approach to Kids Martial Arts in Fort Lauderdale

Twiggs Martial Arts has built its reputation in Ft Lauderdale on delivering more than just physical instruction. The school’s approach focuses on teaching life skills through karate and taekwondo — including respect, goal setting, perseverance, leadership, and self-control. Classes are designed to engage kids in active learning, where every movement reinforces focus, coordination, and determination.

The new programs also integrate mindfulness and social-emotional learning components, encouraging students to develop a healthy mindset alongside physical development. Instructors emphasize patience, kindness, and teamwork — ensuring that kids learn how to communicate, cooperate, and lead with empathy.

Program Highlights

Little Dragons (Ages 3–6)
The Little Dragons program introduces young children to martial arts in an upbeat, playful format. Classes are designed around short, engaging drills that develop coordination, balance, attention span, and early respect for others. By incorporating fun challenges and creative games, Twiggs instructors ensure that learning feels exciting while reinforcing structure and discipline.

Each session encourages listening, following directions, and celebrating small victories — essential skills for children beginning their school years. Parents describe the program as a perfect balance of energy release and focused learning that helps kids transition into more advanced classes later on.

Junior Ninjas (Ages 7–12)
The Junior Ninjas program builds on the foundation of martial arts discipline, introducing more structured training and goal-oriented progress. Students learn core martial arts techniques, self-defense principles, and physical fitness routines that enhance strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Classes also emphasize focus, leadership, teamwork, and goal-setting, preparing kids to take ownership of their growth and decisions. The program promotes accountability and self-confidence while providing a positive outlet for energy and creativity. Many parents report noticeable improvements in their children’s school performance, concentration, and social interaction after joining the program.
