Description Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details. This dynamic and engaging martial arts class introduces children to the fundamentals of martial arts, blending techniques from karate, judo, taekwondo, and more. Students will learn basic kicks, punches, blocks, and stances while developing essential life skills like focus, discipline, respect, and self-confidence. The class emphasizes non-contact, age-appropriate training that prioritizes safety and fun, while also incorporating exercises to improve strength, coordination, and flexibility. Each session includes a warm-up, technique instruction, and games or drills that reinforce skills. Our goal is to build physical fitness, instill confidence, and foster respect for oneself and others—values that last a lifetime!
