KinderKarate
KinderKarate - for 4½ to 6 year old children. This specialized class is limited
to just 8 students. With this small number of children the instructors will be
able to give your child personal attention. This class is designed for children
to learn in a way that is appropriate for their age.
The next session begins September 14. When the class is full we will put your child on a waiting list. Reserve your child's space now!
At SafeSkills®, we offer a peaceful and safe approach to training. There is no focus
on competition, young children do not "fight", break boards, or glorify violence
as you may see in the movies or on TV. We take a traditional martial arts approach
to training, one of respect for each child. We have your child's best interest at
heart!
Games, drills, and activities will teach your child self-confidence, self-control,
and coordination. Reward STARS will be earned throughout the class for them to wear
on their belts as a sign of their achievements.
KinderKarate meets once a week on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 5:15. The class is taught
in eight - twelve week semesters.
The KinderKarate class will enable your child to join the ongoing Gentle Spirit
Karate classes for children (ages 6 to 12). As your child matures and gains the
skills, she or he can move into the next level of karate training. SafeSkills® offers
many programs for your child to grow!
Why do we call it Gentle Spirit Karate?
There are many approaches to martial arts training and hundreds of martial arts
styles. We call our approach "Gentle Spirit" because we focus on each student being
a peaceful yet strong individual. The style we teach is Shorin-Ryu Kobayashi.
