Junior Dragons Hit The Pads

Junior Dragons Hit The Pads!

April 10, 2025•1 min read

We have been working on pad drills with our Junior Dragons this week! 🥊 ...and wow - they’ve been smashing it! 💥

Pad drills are more than just a fun way to burn energy (although they definitely do that too!).

Here's what our Junior Dragons have been gaining from all the punching, moving, and focus:

🧠 Sharper Focus - Pad work trains the brain as much as the body. Listening to combos, reacting fast, and staying on target builds mental sharpness and discipline.

💪 Stronger Skills - Every drill helps improve timing, coordination, and striking technique. They’re learning to move with purpose and control - not just power!

😄 Massive Confidence Boosts - There’s nothing like the smack of a perfect punch on the pad to make a kid feel proud and powerful. You can see their self-belief growing.

And most importantly… they’ve been having an absolute blast! 💥

If your child is looking for a fun way to build confidence, focus, and fitness - our Junior Dragons classes are the place to be!
