Much like our Adult Karate program, Youth students study the art of
Okinawan Karate. Youth classes focus on strikes, foot-work and
stances that are within the traditional katas. Students also
learn the location, angle and direction of vital and pressure
points. All participants can test and be promoted through the
various belt ranks.
Why is Martial Arts so Popular?
Martial arts are so popular because no other activity can provide the
same results as martial arts for each individual participant. Whether
your goals are self-confidence, self-defense, personal development,
fitness, flexibility or to earn a black belt, our school will take you
there.
Martial Arts is Great for Children
Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not
enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach
here, into their children's lives to supplement their education.
Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology
Today (January 1985), found that children in martial arts have a lower
level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in
the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem;
higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be
radical.
