LITTLE TIGERS​

These classes are specifically designed for 4-6 yrs of age. In these classes the little tigers will be taught life skills, basic commands and the Kihon (basics), the foundations from which Karate is built. The little tigers will learn co-ordination from the very techniques taught as well as basic Japanese terminology. These classes are designed to prepare the little tigers for the next step.

JUNIOR CLASSES​

Our Junior classes are suitable for students aged 6 and above or the equivalent of 9th Kyu (Orange Belt) and above. In these classes students will be motivated and given the tools and advice needed to achieve their next grade. Students will be working to a fairly complexed syllabus, where more content is added with each advancement until the student is ready to move on to our advanced lessons.

ADVANCED CLASSES​

These classes are for students of 3rd Kyu (Brown Belts) and above. The classes focus on advanced techniques and the student’s ability to teach. These lessons are not for the faint hearted as students are pushed hard in every aspect of their training including exercises that condition and harden the body. There is no such thing as perfection; students are taught to seek perfection in everything they do.

I came to karate in search of an activity to help my daughter build esteem, confidence, respect, discipline and active listening. I can honestly say that this is hands down the best thing I have ever invested in for my daughter. She is more confident, happier and doing better in school.
