Busto’s Martial Arts Dragons Karate Program

Our Dragons program is Exclusively tailored to children ages 8 to 12

What if there was an ancient secret formula that could give your child laser beam focus, rock solid confidence, unshakable self-esteem and an indomitable spirit to help them soar in school and be prepared for anything in life? Wouldn’t you want to know what it is? 

At Busto’s Martial Arts of Ronkonkoma, we call this formula our Dragon Program. Children in this age group are eager to try new things, but often lack the discipline to stick with them - a concept we call stick-to-it-tive-ness. Having the ability to stay focused and determined even when an activity is difficult can make a huge difference throughout a person’s life. This is why we make sure all our Dragon Program students learn to stick to whatever they start, and never quit for the wrong reasons. Make no mistake, this is not your garden-variety karate program, filled with empty creeds and sayings that the students do not take to heart. Renshi Matthew Federico and his team of instructors incorporate the ethics, moral integrity and martial art techniques they've gained from decades of training into each and every class. This martial art program can truly change your child’s life.

Providing skills that carry into all other aspects of life!

Discipline, Respect, Self Esteem, Perseverance & More!

To succeed in life, a child needs to acquire the skills and habits necessary to face difficult challenges, and push through them while staying positive and focused, no matter if they win or lose. It's also important for children to learn how to work and compete with their peers, while maintaining respect for themselves and others.

As they develop their physical skills and learn to trust in their abilities, their self confidence and self esteem will soar. Ultimately, our classes teach children how to hold themselves to a higher standard with both confidence and humility.

Good health and fitness habits are developed early, and can last a lifetime!

The value of a positive self image is immeasurable

One of the best things about martial arts is that it delivers an elite level of physical fitness while kids are having fun. Most of the time, they don't even realize they're exercising.

But make no mistake, kids who take martial arts are some of the most well conditioned children around. Martial arts provides cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, agility and balance. There are really no other sports or activities that can compare.

Childhood obesity is at epidemic levels today. We work with students who need to lose weight to help them break unhealthy habits, and set realistic fitness goals. The lessons children learn will follow them into adulthood, setting them up for a lifetime of good health and a positive self image.

Bullying - one of the most important subjects addressed by martial arts

Whether you child is being bullied, or bullying others

Bullying hurts. It causes psychological and emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Regardless of whether your child is the victim of bullying, or the one doing it, low self esteem is usually the source, and will eventually lead to poor school performance, depression and labeling.

Busto’s has the solution. Our program builds physical, mental and emotional strength, while our students learn both self respect, and respect for others. Children who believe in themselves not only make poor targets for bullies, they learn to stand up and "find their voice." At the same time, children who were inclined towards bullying learn they don't need to intimidate others to feel self worth.

Many parents worry that martial arts may make their child more aggressive, but in reality, it's the exact opposite. Martial arts teaches children self control. Our students learn to stand up for themselves and their principles, and to respond to bullying in the most effective manner, with physical force being the last resort. The advantage to the techniques we teach is that they are totally non-violent, and are only applied in response physical aggression, ensuring that they are never used for the wrong reason. Most importantly, our students learn they can walk away from trouble with courage and authority.
