Children will learn Kempo Karate that includes the traditional stances, blocks, strikes, and kicks.  This style also encompasses Forms, or Katas, Sparring and Okinawan weapons.
In addition to Kempo Karate children also learn grappling, jujitsu and escapes from various grabs, chokes, and holds.

After School Program

Our Transported After School Program provides a great alternative to a traditional after school care at affordable prices. Children are picked up from their school and are brought to our training facility.

Each day the kids also take a Karate or Jiu-Jitsu class and enjoy a free play time with their friends.
