Beginner Karate (Ages 5-7)
Beginner Karate focuses on rule-play and trusting that three basic rules will insure a safe martial arts experience! Children will learn the most basic dojo (training hall) etiquette: how to bow and how to listen with their eyes. Attention practice will keep students aware and teach them to execute their skills when needed. Raising their hand to speak, or demonstrating the Statue of Liberty, gives them a lot of power and a voice in the class. Offered: Fall, Winter & Spring

Beginner/Intermediate Karate (Ages 5-9)
This class will bring together students learning at a beginner and intermediate level to further their knowledge of karate.
