Did you know falls are the #1 cause of injury for adults over 40? And for kids under 19, falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries according to the CDC. At every age, knowing how to move safely makes a real difference.

On May 16, we're bringing one of our most popular martial arts fundamentals to The Keller Pointe as part of Fit City, and it's free and open to all ages.

In this 45-minute session you'll learn:

-How to improve your balance and stability through simple progressions
-How to move with more control and confidence on your feet
-What to do if you do fall- the safe way to go down and get back up

This is the same body awareness we teach in our American Karate and Aikido programs, broken down for everyday life.

Saturday, May 16 | Adults 9:30 AM , Kids 10:30 AM| The Keller Pointe

Kata isn’t just practicing self defense moves on your own. This is a portion of one of our forms, Pinan Shodan, being applied against an opponent. Every movement in this kata has a purpose.

Forms should not just be about memorizing a pattern; the primary focus should be how to use these moves under pressure. This is how adults should train.

If you’re in Keller, Southlake, North Ft. Worth, or the surrounding area and have been thinking about learning real self-defense, or even if you just want to try something different and get out of your comfort zone, come see us. Visitors are always welcome!

Send a DM and we’ll get you into your first class, no obligation.
