WE HAVE NEWS TO SHARE:

August 1, 2019

We have started a before school care program called "Active Mornings". Kids get dropped off at our dojo at 7:30 AM. They participate in 30 minutes of moderate morning activity optimized to get them alert, focused and energized for their upcoming school day. Then the kids are walked to their local schools in time for morning roll call. Morning activities will include Yoga, Martial Arts Training, Stretching, and Active Games. This program can be enrolled into as a stand alone just for mornings or combined with our after school karate program for full before and after school care. Presently schools services for Active Mornings are Norway, Bowmore and Williamson. We may be able to accommodate other schools, please inquire.

We have started and Advanced Kids Karate Program for Yellow Kyu and higher grades. This program will allow more focus on advanced techniques, Goshinjitsu, weapons, Kumite and other advanced trainings that they would not have time to perfect in the regular kids program. It will run Wednesday and Friday's from 6-7 PM and is a separate program from our regular 7-12 year old class. The regular Tuesday and Saturday program will now focus more on basics and beginner skills.
