A Confident and Fit Child is UNSTOPPABLE in life!

"When my son Michael was only 6 years old, he was very shy and had a tendency to be a follower. In a world of such trying times, I wanted more for my son, and I chose Dragon Spirit Martial Arts for him. Now, three years later, he has a heart of gold and I see the man inside my little boy. I have seen a huge change in Michael. His concentration has improved greatly and he strives to do the very best that he can in everything he tries in life.

Michael now has the 'I CAN DO IT' attitude with the grades and personal accomplishments to prove it. There isn't a day that goes by without Michael finishing a chore or asking, "is there anything I can help you with Mom?" I know in my heart that sending him to Dragon Spirit Martial Arts has already made a tremendous difference in his life and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Someone shared a SECRET with me that changed my child's life...and now I'd like to share it with you.

"My son, Frank, has grown to be more confident and be able to defend himself, should the need arise. The activities, techniques, and fun games at Dragon Spirit Martial Arts teach him to be confident, respectful, and disciplined. All these qualities are taught in each and every class and are essential for him to be a good student and a happy person in life.

- Margaret Wilson


What's the secret?

The Life Skills Martial Arts Program at Dragon Spirit is the SECRET!


While Team Sports has its benefits, the focus is often on winning and competition. At Dragon Spirit, the focus is on personal growth and development. While a healthy sense of competition is encouraged at our school, the main focus lies not in victory or defeat, but rather in the personal development of each and every child. In fact, research indicates that the martial arts are nearly 10 times more likely to develop confidence and self-esteem than Team Sports. No child ever goes home a loser, or is made to feel inferior to his or her peers.

The Result: Our program can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, self-esteem, and discipline, while teaching them skills that will last them a lifetime. (Let me explain why you MUST come see our program for yourself. It will be the best thing that you'll ever do for your child.)


Dear Parent,

Congratulations on your quest to improve and reinforce the values and qualities you have worked so hard to instill in your children. You may be thinking, what role can martial arts play in my child's life to teach them life lessons? Well, let me assure you that our program can in more ways than one.

My name is Shihan Peter A. Tuccino, Head Instructor and Owner of Dragon Spirit Martial Arts. I've been involved in Martial Arts for 34 years and I grew up in Rutherford and Lyndhurst for the last 38 years of my life. I'm on an unstoppable mission to help the children in our community gain confidence, get better grades, increase their self-esteem, defend against peer pressure and bullies (both verbally and physically), learn to be a leader, stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle.

We've already done it and we're continuing to do it everyday with kids just like yours. Imagine how you'll feel when your child is able to achieve all of the positive things life has to offer and will have the personal confidence and "street smarts" to stay far from all of the negative things in life. With our exclusive and award winning Life Skills Martial Arts Program not only will your child receive all of the benefits that I just spoke about and more from our program, they'll have a ton of fun, meet new friends, and love doing it! I guarantee it!

We will show your children the path to greatness in everything they do in life!

 


Don't just take my word for it...read what some of our students' parents have to say:

"My son, Fabian, and my daughter Faye, have been students at Dragon Spirit Martial Arts for nearly 3 years. I have seen an improvement in their self-esteem, and most certainly have seen massive changes in their level of confidence in everything they do. The instructors at Dragon Spirit Martial Arts helped my children along the path of personal achievement and will continue to do so for many years to come. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking to increase the quality of their child's life for the short and long term."

Olga Rosario


"My son has increased his strength, agility, and ability to concentrate. He also is starting to understand the concept of self improvement above direct competition which the instructors at Dragon Spirit Martial Arts constantly reinforce every class. He always looks forward to coming to class and enjoys working out with the instructors and fellow students. I would recommend Dragon Spirit Martial Arts to any parent for their child or for themselves."

Richard Rossetti


"Caitlin's motor skills have increased tremendously and she is able to perform more difficult tasks without becoming frustrated, as she used to do. She is no longer easily distracted during her chores and always tries her best without ever giving up."

Jennifer Morales


"We wanted Nikki to develop her self-defense skills and were definitely impressed on how she can handle herself in many situations if anyone was to hold her or grab her arm. Keep up the great work! We recommend the academy to all parents.

Maria Sammartino

Attention Parents:
Do You Have A 3 - 6 Year Old Child?

If so then please read about our Little Dragons Program...

At Dragon Spirit Martial Arts, we are on a mission to reach out to as many preschoolers in our community as possible. Laying a strong foundation for our youth is our mission. Our Little Dragons Program is specially designed for 3 to 6 year-olds. There are 8 major skills that our instructors concentrate on: Focus, Team Work, Control, Balance, Memory, Discipline, Fitness, and Coordination.
Each class, we cover one of these skills with a wide variety of activities that are fun, educational and at the same time gets your child physically fit. The following are some activities that we will cover in our Little Dragons class:

  • Dragon Speed Test - all the students do their kicks and punches until we say "freeze." They all must move to attention stance (feet together, arms at their sides, head facing forward) as fast as they can. This drill teaches them discipline to stand still when told to.

  • Confidence Course - The students must jump over varying pads and "break-thru" the instructors Black Belt at the end of the course. The course helps them achieve short term goals and personal confidence gains.

  • Morals of the Dojo - each day we review the Morals of the Dojo (Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Discipline, Patience, Valor, Honor), their meanings and applications to every day life.

As you can see, we make learning fun and educational. Martial Arts is much more than kicking and punching. It's being the best that you can be in everything you do. You can be sure your child will learn valuable skills that will last a lifetime.

Is your child 2-3 years old and you don't think there ready for a program yet? Then please shoot us an e-mail at: TheDragonSpirit1@aol.com with your name and your child's name and age, so we can stay in touch with you and send you special invitational offers once your child turns 4 years old.

 

In our Program Your Child Will Experience...

  • Grade Improvement:The grades go up and stay up! Our program offers a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility. It is an educational/Black Belt program that will give your child the discipline needed to study, complete homework and organize their time wisely. Ultimately, this leads to better concentration at school and better grades. We make success a habit, not a chore and we have the track record to prove it!

  • Leadership Skills: To help them succeed in life! Our programs will teach your child how to set goals and take responsibility for their own actions. These qualities, more than any others, will help your child develop as a leader and not as a follower. This, in turn, will ensure their success in school, college and life!



  • Increased Physical Fitness: To help your child develop physically! Our programs increase speed, stamina and agility in children. They also help develop balance, coordination and timing, which helps your child in sports and other activities.


  • Mental Development: To give your child the courage to say NO in the face of peer pressure! One of the most troubling problems facing many parents today is the possibility that their child may become involved with drugs. The number of children taking drugs at a younger age is staggering. We help promote anti-drug programs as well as conduct our own anger management and conflict resolution program. Our programs are designed to promote self-confidence and self-esteem--giving your child the strength to resist peer pressure.


  • High Energy Classes: Fun-filled classes your child will truly enjoy! From the children's point of view, the best part about our program is how much fun the classes really are. We focus your child's energy in a positive and productive manner.


  • Realistic Self-Defense Skills: Our Self Defense techniques could save your child's life! While we wish it weren't a factor in our program, that fact remains that we live in a world full of undesirable people. We don't give children a false sense of reality by teaching them how to be victorious only in competition. Our program teaches your child how to protect himself in real life threatening situations. This invaluable skill could be the difference between life and death!


  • Personalized Attention: To ensure rapid progress! We focus on quality instruction and personal attention. Our students are treated as individuals. All of our classes are taught by highly trained instructors committed to excellence and continued learning. You'll feel safe knowing your child is receiving the finest instruction possible!
