Ages 8-12 Traditional Karate

8-12

Children aged eight to twelve, from brand new white belts through junior brown and black belts. Most classes are grouped by rank, so a beginner never gets thrown in with students preparing for black belt. Students who are ready can also join the junior sparring class on Tuesdays.

Your first class

Comfortable clothes, bare feet. Your child starts with basics and a kata section, then moves on to partner drills matched to their level. From the first session, an instructor makes sure they're in the right group for their rank.

What to wear

Comfortable workout clothing and a water bottle. A gi comes later, once they enroll.

Experience needed

None
