Kids Karate program
Our kids and parents love our Martial Arts program. Our instructors specialize in teaching our young students the values of respect,discipline,commitment and etiquette. Stranger awareness, bully defense and self defense are taught in a fun and friendly environment.
We have tots Karate classes for kids ages 4 to 6,then to our youth programs ages 7 to 12 and our adult and teen classes ages 13 and above.
What we teach
Karate is the core Martial Arts taught in all of our programs, but because of the on going development in sports like MMA and the popularity of the UFC we also have a very strong grappling and take down concepts taught to our Karate students. Remember, the bad guys like to watch mixed Martial Arts fighting too!
What is Karate?
Karate is primarily a striking Martial Art, using punches, strikes and kicks to defend yourself.
To stay in shape and develop endurance we have Kata (forms). Kata are pre-arranged movements that simulate sparring or self-defense situations, to some one who doesn’t practice Karate it looks just a bunch of punching and kicking in the air-Kata develops strength and timing and promotes fitness and health!
If your looking for a really hard work out, Kata combined with Kihon (basics) will get your blood pumping! This type of training also develops balance,timing,hand eye coordination,how to breathe correctly and self-discipline.
It is a requirement of all Karate students to learn Kumite (sparring).Have ever heard the saying”everyone has a plan until they get punched”? Kumite is a very important part of Karate training at all ages and levels,this way in a self defense scenario we are prepared for all situations,getting hit is something we must all train for.
