Karate is not only a great way to stay physically fit, but it also helps to cultivate mental strength and discipline. At Sarah's School of Martial Arts, we believe in the holistic development of the individual, helping them to become the best version of themselves they can be. Through the practice of karate, we strive to build strong bodies and develop a mindful spirit. Karate is a spiritual endeavor, and not everyone will enjoy its practice, but it is an incredible way to learn to cultivate patience, mental strength, and discipline.
This half hour long class is specifically guided towards our 4 year olds. We start with an introduction to bowing upon entering the dojo floor and how it shows respect to instructors, fellow students and the dojo itself. Using games and humor, we focus on teaching balance, respect, basic kicks and the importance of listening to your parents.

White belts take this class and advance to the next level after their 3rd stripe on their belt. Monthly themes are implemented into this class to show the importance of being respectful, treating others equally, sharing and much more. We also play games in this class as well!

Intermediate
This forty five minute class consists of orange, gold and green belts. Another kata, Heian Sundan, is also incorporated in here as well as tougher kicks, punches, blocks and strikes. Since this is an intermediate level class, more is expected from the children such as better listening, harder work ethic, and respecting others. We also review different methods to stand up to a bully in a safe way. Fun games are played in this class as a reward for good behavior and hard work.
