Traditional Karate Class

Our Karate classes allow for 30 min of warm up, including cardio, strength, balance, co-ordination and stretching exercises.

From this we enter into technical and repetition training. Usually ending with Kata, Sparring or some form of Self Defense training.

On Tuesday & Thursday evenings we run from 6:30-8:00 focusing on beginners (all ranks welcome). From 8:00-8:30 is for our Advanced students (Green belts and up) train.

Thursday evening's we focus on various forms of Kumite (Sparring) / Self defense (Jujitsu).

Pricing for these classes is extremely reasonable and family rates are in affect:

A Typical Class

Stretching / Exercise

This helps to prepare students for Karate training by developing strength, fitness and flexibility.

Strength / Conditioning Games

After the warm-up, students take part in various games such as races and skill contests.

Basic Karate Moves

This is the core part of the class. Students learn and practice fundamental movements like blocks, kicks and punches.

Distance and Balance Training

Students learn to improve their balance and distance from an object by focusing their punches and kicks on our specially made Pee-Wee kicking shields and focus pads. Not surprisingly, this is a popular part of the class!

Self Defense and Awareness

This is integrated into most of the class but we do specifically study and review safety rules in class, including the following:

·Never leave home without notifying your parents.

·Never talk to strangers.

·Never accept anything from strangers.

·Do not respond if a stranger calls them by name.

·Never get into a stranger’s car.

·Never allow a stranger to get close enough to grab them.

·Teaching them the importance of 911 and their own home phone number.

End of Class

Usually we end with something fun like an obstacle course (great for balance and motor skill development), Tug of War, Sensei says (our version of Simon says), horse-stance leapfrog, and more.
