Youth Karate (8 –14 years)
Karate puts children in touch with
their bodies, and offers a good mix of
strength training, with cardiovascular and
flexibility exercises. Children increase their
coordination, agility, and poise, as well as
learn lasting personal safety skills. They
also benefit from the mental stimulation
of learning the choreographed moves of
the kata and the discipline of conforming
to the class rules. Min/Max: 8/16
Adult Karate (15 years and older)
Release tension, develop total body
fitness, and build stamina and overall
productivity! In addition to self-defense
skills, karate increases flexibility,
cardiovascular endurance, and muscle
tone, while improving core strength.
