KARATE & SELF DEFENSE

 

The karate curriculum will be taught to your children starting from white belt and continuing to move forward to the next level depending on  your child’s understanding of the techniques while demonstrating in class.

For small children, training will be focused on developing balance and coordination through simple exercises such as the animal workout which are a series of exercises where the kids get to imitate the movements of animals.  For older children and teen agers training will be focused on technique, speed and strength.
