Karate training for the whole family!
Traditional Karate training is a fun way for children to develop confidence, health and fitness as well as mental focus. Traditional Karate teaches self-discipline and socialization skills. Many parents whose children train in the martial arts find that their children’s self-control, concentration and confidence are greatly improved through Karate training.
Parents are invited to train alongside their kids.
Kids under 8 years old must have a parents training alongside them.
