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.

Karate for Children at Lowell Elementary School

We offer karate as an after-school program at Lowell Elementary (on Capitol Hill) two afternoons a week. The basic class runs from 3:20 to 4:20 pm on Tuesday and Thursday. More advanced students stay an additional half hour, until 4:50.

Tuition for this program is paid three times during the school year, rather than monthly. For more information on the Lowell program, click here.

Class Schedule

Special sessions: Deb and Jutta from Central Physical Therapy and Fitness have created a circuit training program specifically for karate. It is held at the dojo on most Monday and Wednesday mornings. Ask Deb for details.

Tuition and Fees

Our introductory package for the women's program covers 3 months of tuition, annual fees, and a karate uniform (karate gi), for $150. After that, tuition is paid monthly on a sliding scale of $60-75/month. Beginners can attend classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (see above schedule), as many times per month as you wish.

Kids' introductory package covers the same 3 months tuition, annual fees, and a karate uniform. After that, monthly tuition is $50 (goes up to $55 when the student advances sufficiently to attend the Thursday evening class). Beginners in the kids' class may attend Wednesday and Saturday classes.

Our annual fees total $24 ($12 to FKU and $12 to IKF).

We also offer a 20% discount on tuition for immediate family members.
