Karate for Kids

 

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

The Karate for Kids program uses a nationally recognized early-childhood karate curriculum called Lil' Dragons. 

This age appropriate class lays a foundation for physical fitness, introduces children to the sport of Karate and offers training in various safety and life-skill areas including:

Balance and coordination, exercise, stranger awareness, cooperation, respect and discipline, memory and listening, health, first aid, anti-drugs, fire / holiday safety and home / traffic safety.

Various patches and awards will help to motivate your child as they progress and grow in strength and character.

As part of the Karate for Kids program, we teach the basic techniques covered in the regular Lung Fu Do curriculum with the goal of our students being able to easily transfer into our "basic" classes as yellow belts.  We offer this program for children ages approximately 5 to 7 years old on Monday from 4:30 to 5:30.  Tuition is $45.00 per month for one child, and half price for each additional sibling.  Students are encouraged to arrive already dressed in their uniform. Older students may use the locker rooms to change for class.

We would ask that students not be dropped off more than fifteen minutes before the start of class and that they be picked up within fifteen minutes of the end of class.

Our goal is help children develop a life-style of physical fitness, respect and self-confidence through the martial arts.
