Children's Classes

Sensei Rick stresses FUN so the kids are never afraid or intimidated. Kids learn more efficiently when they are happy and having fun. Drills are disguised as games, so students don't get bored.
Junior 2
Junior 2 classes stress more of the traditional Japanese Karate protocol. Kids are trained in easy to remember self-defense "moves". plus powerful strikes, kicks and blocks. When a student learns a skill, they get a promotion towards their next goal--either a stripe or new color belt. This motivates students to work towards the long-term goal of Black Belt!
