ADULTS

Karate is a discipline that rewards students of all ages. Whatever your stage of life, the martial arts can help you improve your body and mind.

As students of karate, we learn to bring our mental and physical lives into harmony.

  •     Martial Arts Techniques
  •     Mental Self-defense – Being aware of your thoughts and controlling them.

LITTLE TIGERS & JUNIORS

Our Little Tigers’ class is specifically designed for boys and girls ages 5-7 while our Juniors’ class is for ages 8-13. To experience the full benefits of the class, students should attend twice a week. The purpose and focus of our children’s martial arts classes is to build self-control and confidence, develop self-esteem, guide their incredible energy in a positive direction, and have fun while learning.

Our instructors start with a 20-minute consultation for those 8 years of age and older to discuss martial arts in general, our school philosophy, and our school’s main purpose, which is personal development through mental, emotional, and physical stability. We then proceed with one to three half-hour introductory lessons so students and parents get a feel for the school atmosphere, and so you can decide if you wish to continue on a regular basis.

Kids Learn:  

  •     Self-Defense and Self-Control skills
  •     Respect and Positive Character Development
  •     Listening, Interacting and Leadership Skills Mixed with Fun Martial Arts

SENIORS

Our Seniors only class offers a low impact, unique approach to self-defense with far-reaching benefits for active adults 55+.  In addition, our methodology provides defense against the onset of many physical challenges faced by mature adults, such as:  

Our practice helps mature adults strengthen brain function.  A sharp brain adds to longevity and quality of life. Our practice accomplishes this through integrated physical motion and visual and auditory cues that strengthen mental alertness.

Through artistic body movement and coordinated routines, that are designed to be age-specific, our practice improves balance and coordination, strength and flexibility, and improves confidence in your physical abilities.

Dr. Darla Booth (Functional Medicine) says, if you’re not practicing your balance and coordination, you do not get blood flow to those parts of the brain that operate those areas.  The neural pathways are still there. They have been there since you were a little kid but if you’re not using them, they’re not super highways anymore. The good news is you can get it back!

Spatial Awareness is the understanding of where our bodies are in relation to stationary and moving objects around us:  Furniture, pets, grandchildren, automobiles, pedestrians and a whole host of other items. Our practice helps increase awareness of objects around you in order to avoid accident or injury from collisions.

Our Seniors only class allows students to work at their own pace and is a no belt system.  We create a fun, encouraging and safe environment that allows students to take steps towards a richer, fuller and happier life.
