Karate for Life.

We build resilient, confident & empowered kids

Now more than ever, young people need martial arts. As a parent of twin daughters, I understand the fear of putting your children into new or unfamiliar situations. Our Kids Karate Program demonstrates to children that they are powerful and important by giving them the tools and the practice to grow up strong, speak up for themselves and stay true to their values.

Etiquette

Our curriculum promotes self-control and etiquette, both inside and outside of the dojo. Children are taught to honour themselves, their training partners and the spaces we share with our community. They learn about Japanese martial culture and the deep importance it places on empathy and remaining humble.

Training

We believe that all children have the capacity to be life-long athletes. We teach transferable skills that kids will use throughout their lives, even if they later decide that martial arts aren’t their passion.

• Functional, movement-based strength, conditioning and flexibility drills that build physical literacy.

• Shotokan kata and Okinawan Ryukyu kobudo weapons including staff, nunchaku, sai and more.

• Japanese aiki-jujitsu techniques including grip releases, joint locks and throws.

• Modern and practical Seienjuku style full and semi-contact continuous sparring.
