Youth Marital Arts
This kids program teaches practical defensive strategies within the tradition of classical Okinawan karate (Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu). The program uses both modern and ancient pedagogical principles to develop exceptional strategies and characteristics for our students. This program develops values such as courtesy, humility, effort, focus, patience, perseverance and courage.
This is an excellent family program and parent-child participation is strongly encouraged.
