Karate for Children

Give your child the gift of confidence! Karate training increases the growing child's strength, coordination, and mind-body connection.

More than ever, children need to learn self-discipline, self-respect, and self-defense; karate is a popular, fun activity that teaches all three simultaneously.  We offer a non-competitive, friendly, fun experience where children gain discipline, coordination and confidence.  Our teaching is geared to the age and ability of your child.  We also provide guidance in restraint and control to deter students from becoming bullies or show-offs. Girls and boys aged 6-12 are eligible to begin.  Mothers are welcome to train with their children.

In practicing karate your child will develop basic and fne motor skills, focus and self-discipline, coordination, balance and strength -- and have FUN. Students learn fundamental techniques in an encouraging environment. Everyone works at their own pace and takes on challenges appropriate to their abilities.
