Karate is also a method of self-defense. Children are taught what to do if approached by a stranger and how to use karate in a positive way and without fear. They are taught that karate should never be used in anger or as an offensive fighting technique. In our class format the children are taught never to use karate on friends, siblings, teachers or parents, however they are taught the danger of a stranger and if ever faced with a situation where someone intends harm, they can use the methods learned to protect and defend themselves.

Everything in the program is based on positive values in a playful, structured format. Karate is a wonderful way to reiterate the positive values taught in the home — but remember, we will only be spending an hour a week with each class so be patient. Self-esteem, discipline, focus, and optimum levels of physical fitness take time to achieve.
