What We Teach
Instruction for Life
We teach traditional martial arts using modern teaching methods.
Martial arts training is discipline for the mind as well as the body. We use developmentally-appropriate techniques to make sure all students learn the physical skills, the confidence, and the mental balance to excel both on the mat and in life.
Little Dragons (ages 4–6)
What can we teach a 4 year old about martial arts? Plenty! Our program and teaching style are geared towards helping Little Dragons improve their coordination, balance, and overall control of their bodies. The classes are high energy and fun, while instilling respectful behavior—good manners, making eye contact, how to shake hands, and how to give a polite greeting. Classes are structured to reward positive actions, with an emphasis on teaching the importance of focus, listening skills, and self control.
American Karate for children (ages 7 & up)
Children of any athletic ability will benefit from martial arts training. Classes are active, open, and structured to motivate kids to make positive choices. Progressing through the belt ranks helps children learn to set goals and take pride in working hard to achieve them. At Karate for Life we don’t just talk about character development, we teach it! We emphasize honesty, integrity, and respectful behavior—in order to advance our students are required to track their community service and character-development activities. They must also show a positive attitude and demonstrate mastery of the skills needed for each belt level.
American Karate for Adults
We believe martial arts training is “fitness with purpose.” Our classes will help you increase flexibility, improve muscle tone, strength, and balance. You’ll gain confidence from knowing you possess the skills necessary to protect yourself or your family. The physical training is a great stress reliever and the atmosphere is family oriented. In fact, many parents train alongside their children.
