Seasoned Dragons (Seniors)

Service Description

Ages 65+ 45 minutes Sentinels is a light martial arts-based movement class designed specifically for older adults who want to stay active, improve balance, and build confidence — all while learning meaningful skills. This class blends gentle techniques from Pagoda Ryu Karate and Panantukan with simple stretching, balance drills, and mobility exercises to create a safe, welcoming environment where every student can move at their own pace. You’ll learn: • Basic self-defense concepts like awareness, posture, and distance • Low-impact martial arts movements adapted for your comfort • Footwork drills to support balance, walking, and joint stability • Slow, flowing combinations that improve focus and coordination • Light strength-building movements using body weight and breathing • Exercises to help with fall prevention and overall mobility Each class also includes brief discussions on respect, calm breathing, and personal empowerment through the Tenets of Taekwondo, including self-control, courtesy, and perseverance. You don’t need any prior experience or athletic ability — just a desire to keep moving, stay sharp, and learn something new in a friendly, low-pressure setting.
