This class encompasses all the essentials for establishing a solid foundation in Shotokan Karate. Throughout our sessions, we will engage in a variety of activities that include conditioning exercises to build strength and endurance, kihon (fundamental techniques) to master the basic movements of karate, katas (structured forms) to develop rhythm and precision, and kumite (sparring) to apply skills in a controlled environment. With a strong focus on instilling respect for one another and understanding the core principles of karate, we are excited to offer this enriching class at two convenient locations for your ease. It is designed to cater to young learners, specifically for those ages 5 to 12, ensuring that each child can participate and thrive in a supportive atmosphere.
