It will help them pay attention & focus. Their training is built on discipline & respect. They will build their confidence to stand up for themselves and others. They will have fun and get new friends. Unfortunately kids sometimes get bullied. Our experience have showed us, that the effects of kids practicing Sh*to Ryu give them much better confidence & self esteem and therefore can handle bullying much better and in a non-violent way. They gain an aura of self confidence that makes other kids unconsciously back off. Karate keeps your mind sharp, helps you focus and concentrate. It will develop your muscles; improve your balance and coordination. You can do karate your whole life, it will keep you healthy and fit. Don’t be afraid to take the first step and join in a free class.

You will learn simple basic kata’s (series of moves with blocks, kicks and punches) and we are there to help and guide you. Later as you improve and get higher graded you will learn more advanced techniques. True practitioners of Karate-do make this a life-time study. That doesn’t mean that we have to stop our lives to study this art. It means fitting karate into our daily lives.
