How it works
The HD Dragon Programme runs on a 10 week cycle. In each cycle your child will learn a life skill and a safety skill. They will learn Martial Arts techniques relevant to their grade in the HD Dragon syllabus. At the end of each cycle they will be take part in a grading. As a result each student who enters the grading will earn their next grade and receive the appropriate belt and certificate. The first two lessons is an introduction to the course and after the second week, your child will have earned their first belt: The white belt. The total length of the course will be approximately 12 months. Their belts will all be white belts with a different colour stripe through each one. The colour order is as follows: white, red, green, yellow, brown, HD Dragon Black Belt. When your child completes the HD Dragon Programme they will then be promoted into Children’s Class. Children (ages 7-9)

Saved my life. Best martial arts teachers. Never been fitter or happier than when training with these guys. And my kids took so much from the classes too. After a tough few years with her brother, my daughter would not have the quiet confidence and inner sense of self she shows now, had she not been part of the Epsom martial arts from the age of 4. Stop thinking about doing it and DO IT!

My son's been coming here for a few years now - an amazing group of instructors, who do all they can to make you feel welcome. They are great at instilling all the values you'd want them too, as well, not just the technical aspects of martial arts. Brilliant!

Highly recommend Hands Down Academy, my son started with them at the age of 5 in HD Dragons and moved up the stages all the way up. The support and friendly team spirit is one of the best things here. Not only all the instructors but also the parents coming and waiting along are very supportive and cheer on the kids on to keep the spirits up. Well done to the HD Team !!
