Our cadets are teens aged 13 to 15 years old. Cadets follow the same program as Young Dragons and Adults. As our teens begin to find more freedoms and do things by themselves, we like to have a strong emphasis on self-defence. We hope to never have to defend ourselves in a street confrontation, but there is a chance that we may have to. We teach realistic escapes and releases that are effective for men, women and children. Cadets will develop the ability to recognise potentially dangerous situations, the confidence to avoid those situations and the knowledge to effectively defend yourself.
