Teaching non-aggressive martial arts to kids ages 6-16. We use the term "Karate", because our program incorporates 3 disciplines: Tae Kwon Do Japanese Weapons Self-Defense Starting at the white belt level, students will learn hands-on practical self-defense techniques for handling bullies and aggressive or dangerous people. At the more advanced levels, students learn non-contact Iado sword and Bo staff weapons. Our program is non-aggressive and offers light contact, sparring. At the very advanced levels, students may participate in contact sparring (with gear) to develop timing and control- but this is done in a safe, and supervised, non-harming class. All students are welcome to participate in our annual Kick-a-Thon to help raise money for national charities- these fun events have helped us raise over $15,000. A fun part or our program is our Annual Tournament, where students of all levels compete for awards in Kata and Board-Breaking categories. Demo team option too!
