Children's Programs
SafeSkills® teaches separate karate classes for children. Gentle Spirit Karate can
be learned by everyone!
We teach more than kicking and punching, we teach self-respect as well as respect
for others. In our relaxed yet disciplined atmosphere, the SafeSkills® instructors
are able to bring out the best in your child.
All of our classes are designed to be safe and fun. We call it Gentle Spirit Karate
because we offer your child a safe place to learn, grow, and be challenged. Encouragement
and individual attention are essential components of instruction in our school.
We feel that positive reinforcement, rewarding steady effort, and having high standards
of children’s abilities are the best way to help children progress.
For boys & girls ages 4½ to 6
This specialized class is limited to just 10 students. With this small number of
children the instructors will be able to give each child personal attention. This
class is designed for children to learn at a pace and style that is appropriate
for their age.
For boys and girls ages 6 and up
Our children's program is based on a philosophy of respect, self discipline, and
high expectations. Our welcoming environment will help your child develop in body
and mind.

SafeSkills® has been a wonderful environment for our son and daughter, where they have learned valuable karate and life skills. Their training has been nurturing and highly effective. Even more than the advancement in karate belts, we have noted increased self-confidence and maturity.

SafeSkills® takes into account the unique needs of each individual child, and I have seen my children's balance, concentration, and physical self confidence improve significantly in a short period of time. Thanks and cheers to SafeSkills!

I have been doing karate at SafeSkills® since I was five years old (I'm now 17) and it has been a wonderful experience. I have gained confidence, strength, and a fun & supportive community at SafeSkills.

Not knowing much about the martial arts before, I have since learned that we made an excellent choice in SafeSkills®. The focus is what karate means in the larger context of one's life, not just belts. Learning karate is helping her in all areas of her life.

Our child has been studying Karate at SafeSkills® since he was 7. His coordination has been enhanced and his self-confidence has been boosted. The teachers serve as role models of both strength and kindness. Most importantly, our child has a fun time at SafeSkills.
