October 21st to November 4th, 2024

$50 More Info

Have fun, learn something new & grow from the experience! That is what family karate at the Martial Arts Institute is all about. Every child we teach trains with a parent or family member in the SAME class.

In this three-week program, families will learn traditional Goju Ryu karate in an environment that allows parents and kids to connect on a different level. Together families will be introduced to kihon (basics) and kumite (partner training).

In “Karate with My Kid” families will learn something of value while having fun and engaging with each other. Most importantly, though, families will be spending quality time together. This program is a means to articulate how martial arts training and traditional Okinawan philosophies can enhance and improve the dynamic of the family. (Youth 8- 18 encouraged to attend with parent/guardian)
