This class is designed for younger children. Through  drills, and exercises, we help develop balance, coordination, self-discipline, and motor skills. The structure of this class enhances attention span, self-confidence, and teamwork while introducing the basics of karate, the Japanese language, and culture.

This class combines individual and group training to develop balance, coordination, physical ability, self-confidence, and endurance. Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate basics, kata forms, self-defense, and kumite are taught, along with the Japanese language and culture.

One of Okinawa’s earliest martial arts, Shorin-ryu’s linage can be traced back hundreds of years. The first traces of Okinawan Karate are known to be of ancient (Chinese) Kung-fu heritage. As the art migrated towards the small Japanese island of Okinawa, Shorin-ryu was developed and refined by some of the most renowned martial arts masters in history.
