Childrens Program
Our kids classes are for the ages of 6 to 14.
Our priorities for this age group are to teach them self confidence, respect, discipline and a strong base for karate. In our classes we provide a friendly atmosphere and fun training following the rules and requirements of Kyokushin Karate.
In our dojo we will train and learn Kyokushin Karate, which includes: "kihon" (flexibility, endurance, stance, punches, kicks and blocking), "idokeiko" (practicing techniques through movement), "kata" (forms and fighting imagenary). "kumite" (how to handle contact, defence and offence). Kids in our class will become confident and learn how to stay away from violence, and in the case that they were a target for violence they will learn how to defend themselves.
We believe that kids will benefit most from our program when parents work with us. We will provide you with our rules for the karate dojo and expect that you will assist in teaching your children their responsibilities as a karate ka. We also want you to undrestand that we are not doing karate for the color of the belt and the rank, but for the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of karate and to understand the positive role karate can have in our lives.
All the kids in our dojo will have a chance to participate in competitive events if they choose and when they are ready. They will also have a chance to participate in public demonstrations to help build our organization and show off their skills.
