Karate: Better Together (Family)
Family Classes

PLEASE NOTE: The class fee is for one adult and one child. 
Please register under adult’s name only. There are many benefits of martial arts for kids—better physical fitness, confidence, self-control, discipline, etc. It’s even better when kids and parents train together! Not only does it help keep the kids motivated, but it gives everyone something to work on together between classes. You’ll learn karate strikes, kicks, and even your first form. By the end, you’ll both have the opportunity to test for a yellow belt, the first rank. This is a fun class that balances keeping kids engaged with giving adults lots of new things to learn. Ages 7+
