In
our Kids Karate we try to focus on what each child needs to help them
succeed in life. It is a fact that children who train in martial arts
learn much more than how to defend themselves. The health benefits of
Karate are incredible. Our students will see improvement in strength,
agility, balance and cardio vascular health. Martial Arts is also known
to improve self confidence and mental focus. The results can be seen
through better grades, attitude, and discipline.
Safety is one of our top priorities; therefore the classes will not
exceed 10 students at a time. This makes it possible to give each student
the attention they need. The dojo (training facility) is covered with
2 inch thick matting. There are several training aids on hand for the
students use, including pads for punching and kicking, traditional Martial
Arts weapons, heavy bags, padded gear for weapons and empty hand sparring.
Kids’ class is for children from ages 6 to 12. This class puts
more of a focus on traditional Karate training. We teach this class
twice a week and it runs approximately fifty minutes. Private lessons
are available.
In
the children’s classes we teach a softer version of Kyokushin
Karate and Jujitsu. Both of these arts are originally from Japan. Karate
teaches self-defense from standing and Jujitsu works more with wrestling
and throwing techniques. As a student learns their material they will
go through testing for their different belts. The advantage of the belt
systems is that it helps develop a strong sense of setting goals and
achieving them. Our children’s belts consist of white, yellow,
orange, purple, blue, three degrees of green, three degrees of brown
and junior black.
When you train at our school you will have the advantage of learning
from Nationally Certified Black Belt Instructors in multiple types of
Martial Arts. Our strong moral values coupled with the smaller classes
and proven systems of self defense make our school a step above the
competition. This gives our students an excellent opportunity to become
a well rounded Martial Artist. If you think this might be a class you
or your family might like to experience, please come in and try it with
no obligation.
