A program for potty trained to preschool age children to learn simple Martial Arts, life and school skills. We want them ready for leadership and school. Our goal is to make our Little Leaders the best qualified beginning leadership students for the future and to be the best qualified for kindergarten.
Little Leaders is designed to meet preschoolers and early elementary children where they are, and to help them build physical, emotional and social proficiencies and meet the appropriate developmental milestones. Ultimately, we want them to be our best-qualified beginners in the Black Belt Leadership program, and to be ready to thrive in school.
Little Leaders responses always include ‘Yes sir and Yes m’am. They’ll be ready to stand in line, ready to behave at their desk and ready to be as successful as possible in school. We want them to be better students, better learners and ready to show respect to others.
Maybe you don’t have any personal space at home. Are they on you all the time? Maybe they get very excited and can’t sleep before a big event. Maybe they need just a bit of help to self-regulate.
At this age, they learn by watching you. They learn to walk and talk by watching you.
We use this to teach. We exaggerate body movements. We might do a simple kicking exercise. When we do this, we greatly exaggerate the movement and action.

Each class is short and fast-paced to accommodate attention spans and activity levels. Little Leaders take part in twenty-minute classes, and Advanced Little Leaders participate in thirty-minute classes.
Each class contains the same elements, so that the components feel predictable and comforting to young children, who thrive and feel secure in routine and structure.
Younger children (2-4 years old) begin our Little Leaders Program as just that – Little Leaders. This program focuses on gross motor skills and developing body awareness. Each class is just twenty minutes long. Instructors will give one instruction at a time in this class, to build language skills as well as cooperation.
From that program, Little Leaders can progress into our Advanced Little Leaders Program, and older children (5-6 years old) may begin in that more advanced program. This program focuses more on fine motor skills, and on physical self control. These classes will extend students’ attention spans, with a half hour of instruction, and will challenge students with three or four instructions at a time.
We award all of our special tapes, patches and awards at the ends of classes, with parents and classmates cheering for each child’s successes. This kind of recognition builds pride and approval in the student receiving the award, while also teaching each student the value in congratulating others, as well. We are a team because we cheer for and encourage one another.

Our Little Leaders are just beginning to develop muscle tone. They are also developing hand-eye coordination.
One goal of our program is to help children learn this in fun ways. They learn to punch without dropping their arms, kick without falling and jump without falling.
If your child has a short attention span, or seems to drift off mid-conversation you might see some improvement after Martial Arts training at Macon’s Martial Arts. We believe eye contact is vital when it comes to talking both inside and outside the classroom. After only a short while, kids will start to do this naturally even at home.
One of our fundamental training rules involves discipline. When we ask someone to do something, we expect it to be done. No discussion, no debate. We don’t need to yell at them if they don’t – they do it because they see the other kids doing it. It won’t be long until your kids start doing this at home. If you think your kids have a hard time following directions, then sign them up for a few classes. You will be amazed at the difference.
We don’t tolerate it. No martial arts experience or training is required. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Macon’s Martial Arts teaches Martial Arts and leadership in a safe, clean, professionally operated Martial Arts Academy. We have locations in Asheboro, Burlington and Southern Pines, North Carolina. We teach families the secrets of how to raise better behaved, more successful children.
Our program gives kids the tools to realize an increased attention span, improved behavior, and greater self-control. Our instructors are considered to be some of the best in the country, while placing an emphasis on helping students and their families learn together.
At Macon’s Martial Arts, we believe in hard work, discipline fitness and determination. Don’t misunderstand us, we like to have a lot of fun as well. But, at the end of the day. Your children are here to learn and acquire the tools they need to succeed socially, in
school and beyond. We consider it an honor to teach your children in the ways of Martial Arts.
