Kids learning basic karate techniques.
more to it! The development of positive thinking, the mental and emotional strength to face adversity or danger, and a strong body are just a few of the benefits that are the result of being part of our Karate Kids program.
Time and again, it’s been proven that kids flourish when they have positive role models, learn to set goals, and are given guidelines for their behavior. Our class provides just such an environment.
Since we emphasize learning the underlying principles of martial arts, progression up the belt levels is a bit slower than many other schools. Hard work and achievement of set goals are rewarded with new stripe and belts. That takes time and dedication on the part of teachers, students, and parents.
That doesn’t mean we are all work and no play! We strive to balance the serious study with fun activities that reinforce what the kids have learned.
Excellence requires commitment to training.
Some of our ongoing class topics include: how to handle bullies, what to do if approached by a stranger, safety around guns, when should you “tell”, and how to focus.
