Classes

Karate Kids

These classes were developed to offer young energetic girls and boys a comprehensive, positive safe form of Martial Art Training. We offer a fun yet disciplined environment, with emphasis on manners and respect for one another. Parents just love the way little ones return home tired but with a big smile on their face.

This teaching method was introduced to Australia by Kriton Glenn in 1984 and its success is seen in the way that other martial art styles have adopted the combinations and syllabus over the years. The program promotes many interpersonal communication skills, physical co-ordination, inner strength and positive attitude, which are all great attributes of a developing leader.

The classes run during the school terms. Students arrive 15 minutes before class and get their mum or dad to fill out the registration form. They are then introduced to another student who has been training for a while. So they have a buddy along-side them for the first few classes while they find their feet. Karate Kid students train twice a week and we wear a white uniform that is available for purchase from your instructor.

The Karate Kid teachers are accredited and qualified in the martial arts they all have international experience and have gained the tools necessary to offer a complete Martial Art education by attending regular seminars.
