Our New Bunbury Yellow Dragons (Jaxon, Daniel, Shalea, Will & Tomas
From Left to Right
– Jaxon Barret, Daniel Adams, Shalea Avins, Will Granger & Tomas Mullins take up there protective stance and all passed their Yellow Dragon Belt Grading

He’s been the Little Dragonflies Captain for 2013, now Daniel Adams is making the
step up to train with the “bigger kids”. Its been a huge confidence step up
hes trained all his time in the 3-4 years class but due to Daniel finishing the
Little Dragonflies requirements, he had to summon all his courage and did it pay off

He kicked, punched, yelled his way to becoming a Little Dragon and passing his Yellow Dragon
which is the program for 5 – 8 years of age.

Daniel is a pure example of the “Dont give up, keep trying” attitude we try to pass through our club.
said Master Justin Warren, hes impressed us all with his will to pass.

For Jaxon, Shalea. Will & Tomas, their grading was the result of some 10 weeks of training to achieve their level
and all did a fantastic job to pass all their kicking, striking, blocking, strike defence, kick defence and self defence requirements to pass their belt.

Jaxon, Daniel, Shalea, Will & Tomas are some of the over 70 “Dragons in the South West
that will attempt their belt examination this week.

Well Done To You All,

Led by Super Dragons “Captain” Natasha Hough. All members of the Advanced Dragons Program had to demonstrate Kicking & Punching, self defence escapes, and counter striking. They all put in a top performance. Natasha has now finished the Super Dragons Program promoting to Red Dragon and now qualifying her to move up to the Junior Taekwondo Program.

Taekwondo Centrals Super Dragon Program is based on Anti – Bully & Anti Abduction skills rather than just martial arts. It gives a young child a far greater chance of escaping a “todays style” assualt and encourages escaping actions

Teach The Little Changes That Make A Big Difference
Learn From The Kids Safety Experts Of Over 25 Years
Learn The Move That Helped Two Kids Escape A Real Life Abduction Attempt


In today’s society there is an ever-growing need to be aware of your own and your child’s personal safety. With predators of all sought lurking, some basics can make a huge difference in safely escaping harm. This was brought closer to home for us when 2 of our young students had to put their skills to the test when they found themselves in a snatch & grab attempt on separate occasions.

Through repetitious practise, the correct skills were instilled within the children so an automatic escape response set in. Their reaction saved them from a possible horrible situation. The skills that saved them all were learned from our Little Dragons Program.
A children’s martial arts based anti-bully & anti-abduction program.The escape highlighted to us that martial art skills in kids work and what we taught now had physical proof. What we also realised is every parent needs to teach their child some basics so they have an understanding of what to watch out for, and how to avoid or get out oftrouble should the occasion arise

 Nothing can take the place of proper martial arts classes for teaching self defence and
I am a firm believer in the benefits martial arts have and feel that every child should learn the basics of personal self protection or even better, the tricks to avoiding trouble in the first place.

However this book can help you teach your child some powerful basics that will
– Improve your child’s chance of escaping and
– Decrease your child’s chance of being targeted by bullies or predators
through some simple strategies and techniques

To help give high quality and value for money, we also put in a step by step lesson on the escape move that helped two of our young students escape a real life abduction attempt, The great thing is its used against the most common grab a predator would use and it works like a charm.

After learning the lessons in this book for yourself then passing this knowledge onto your children, and because you know that the skills taught work through real life experiences, therefore you will be able to breath a little easier knowing your child knows the self-protection basics.
