CHILDREN'S CLASSES

Ages 5 (when accompanied by a parent, 7 otherwise) and Up. Our Kids classes are 45 minutes and are offered twice a week. Our classes teach movement with melded with traditional martial arts principles of respect, courtesy, discipline and safety. To accommodate the differing learning levels and ages of our students our classes will often divide into different groups. For the younger students we will teach introductory general martial arts lessons. Drawing from judo, karate and aikido, the focus is on moving in "martial arts" ways. There will be less emphasis on specific techniques with more work on developing general physical capabilities.
