Will my child learn self-control, or become abusive?
For us, Karate is more about self development than it is about fighting. Your child will learn discipline and restraint while developing confidence and control. Please see some of our testimonials!
Do I need to be physically fit or need much coordination?
You do not need to have an athletic background to join Karate. You will start your training at beginners level and progress from there. Each student that enters our school began for different reasons; some for confidence and self-defense, others for exercise and coordination. Whatever your level, we will work with you to become better than when you started.
Will your classes help me become physically fit?
By enrolling and practicing Karate you will improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, stamina, and reflexes. While learning self-defense, you will also have fun! Our classes always begin with stretching and a basic workout. We also encourage our students to practice their material and workout at home.
How long will it take me to obtain a black belt?
Each student progresses at his or her own rate. The average Adult student can reach blackbelt level between 3 – 5 years. Your attendance, motivation, previous experience, natural aptitude, and attitude all have an impact on your progress.
