#4. YOUNG DRAGONS RISING
Empowering Youth Through Martial Arts, Mindfulness & Movement
Young Dragons Rising is more than a youth martial arts class—it's a transformational training ground for strength, focus, and self-respect. Rooted in the same curriculum as our Tai Chi Health Fist program, this experience helps youth develop emotional regulation, confidence, and body awareness through traditional Pai Lum family martial arts.
Students will explore Tai Chi, Qigong, temple strengthening drills, and meditative breathing practices in a safe, encouraging environment. Whether dealing with stress, school challenges, or simply growing up, this program meets young people where they are—and helps them rise.
