YOUTH KARATE (AGES 7+)
|
Karate training brings more than just the physical rewards of increased stamina, mental focus, coordination, balance and flexibility. Karate students also develop discipline, focus, respect for others and goal setting skills. Studies have shown that children who do karate often show significant improvement in concentration and self-discipline – both in school and at home. The emphasis on personal achievement also builds confidence: success is within the reach of every student. Children learn techniques at their own pace. Belt requirements offer a clear path forward at each step of the training process. While fighting techniques are part of martial arts, the emphasis is not on teaching children how to fight, but rather teaching them how to respond appropriately when confronted with negative influences such as bullying and peer pressure. Students leave classes with practical confidence-boosting skills.
The Youth Karate works on a half belt system, which is ranked in the same order as a traditional belt order. |
