Kinder Karate- ages 4 to 6 years old

 

This class is specially designed for younger children. Through songs, plyometric drills and exercises we help to develop balance, coordination, self discipline, as well as motor skills. The structure of this class will help to develop the attention span, self confidence, and learning to work with each other as well as in a group. We will introduce them to the basics of karate, as well as the Japanese language and culture during this class.

This class is very individualized even though much of the teaching is in a group. Through positive teaching methods we are able to develop balance, coordination, physical ability, self-confidence and endurance. Self-discipline and responsibility are taught and practiced.

This is a structured class in which we are able to teach everyone at their own level and pace. As your level of ability and endurance increases, our level of expectation also rises. We can help you learn self-defense, self-confidence, and self discipline as well as help you to lose weight, build muscle, increase flexibility, and reduce stress. This class is a Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu class. Karate basics, kata forms, and kumite are taught, as well as methods of self-defense.
