In addition to developing physical fitness, self-defense and safety
skills, our karate program also helps your child build confidence, focus
and respect for oneself and others. Studies have shown that children
who study karate often show significant improvement in concentration and
self-discipline — both in school and at home. More than any other sport
for children, karate and its inherent values counteract the “win at all
costs” mentality so common in sports today. It is also one of the few
sports in which there are no bench warmers: every child can fully
participate at their own pace. This makes it particularly helpful for
children who struggle with attention and behavior disorder
Karate-ka (students) will learn the basic strikes, blocks, kicks and
stances used in karate training. This fundamental training also
strengthens and prepares the body for the more difficult techniques
ahead in one’s training. From the first day of class, values of respect,
courtesy, control and discipline are instilled in every student.
Instructors provide training that is interesting and challenging while
reinforcing these important values.
