There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for Kids. The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks for our system are monthly themes such as the following:

Goals
Respect
Integrity
Courtesy
Dedication
Friendship
Confidence
Self-Esteem
Self-Control
Perseverance
Self-Awareness
Self-Improvment

In addition to monthly themes, our system includes the unique victory patch. Kids are rewarded special "Victory Stars." These different colored stars are rewarded for outstanding performance in karate class, school, home or at a tournament competition. Kids may receive the following stars for the following deeds:

Gold: Academic Improvement
Silver: Community Service
Red: Tournament Participation
Blue: Classroom Performance

Four different colored Victory Patches are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Karate Kid:

Blue: 0-24 Stars
Silver: 25-49 Stars
Gold: 50-99 Stars
Blue/Gold: 100+ Stars

Essentially, everything we teach in the Karate for Kids program sets the stage for a bright future for your child, academically, socially, and physcially.
