All classes are divided into age appropriate groups. The primary division is between children (ages 10 to 13) and teenager/adult (ages 14 and up).
Karate is great for kids! A very important facet of the children’s martial arts program is the education of the youthful participants in important life skills. We take the responsibility of developing our future leaders of Ryukyu Hon Kenpo very seriously. It is for that reason that we emphasize character development and academic achievement in our kid’s programs.
Classes for Children
Karate Kids:
(Ages 10-13):
This dynamic program focuses on teaching children martial arts in a way that emphasizes a healthy body and mind. Children continue to build upon and refine their skills in the traditional martial arts training that was begun in the Prep Course, along with additional dynamic components which include sparring, board breaking, physical development, and mental development- all areas that are fun to learn and at the same time dramatically enhance the abilities of each student physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Whether your child is very shy, or extremely outgoing, this age-specific program blends a healthy balance of lessons and training that will make a dramatic difference as they enter their teenage years
Classes for Teens and Adults
Karate is great for teens and adults! Teens will hear no talk of “getting even” or intimidating others. Our goal is to teach integrity, soundness of body and life direction. Adults develop a well-balanced, self-confident personality and the ability to avoid conflict but have the skills to defend when necessary.
T/A Class:
(2 classes per week) For ages 14 and up.
