What is it really like?
Between the bows... there is group stretching and conditioning, fundamental basic exercises of stances, punches, throws and kicks. Students are then separated into specialized groups according to age, rank and ability, to learn and improve specific criteria for each group.
Long & Short of Goals... to develop commitment and dedication skills, lose weight and "tone up", increase flexibility, learn self-defense, and boost confidence. Karate helps individuals unwind and relieve stress and can also provide a form of meditation.
Children love... the dynamic classes, which not only teach karate moves and sparring, but also include a wide variety of skill based activities, as well as life lessons on handling situations.
Parents love... the development of the child as a whole. Students learn discipline, focus and respect. As children move through the ranks, they must demonstrate that they are good karate students both in and outside of the dojo!
Adults love... the cardiovascular exercise and muscle toning that is incorporated into routines, which help exercise and relax the mind.
