Kids' martial arts classes in NYC — karate, taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, judo and kung fu among them — start around age 3 or 4 with "little dragons" style classes built on listening, balance and basic stances, and become more technical from about age 6. A first class is usually 30 to 45 minutes for the youngest students and up to an hour for older kids, with a formal opening, drills, partner work and a short cool-down. Most schools let a new student try a class or a short trial before buying a uniform; after that, expect a uniform (gi or dobok) and a belt-testing schedule. Look for schools that separate children by age and size for any partner or sparring work.
