Karate Classes for Children
Karate is fun. That’s probably the most important
thing to know when looking for a karate school for children – the reason to
want to get involved in karate is the fun.
Many a karate school, for children or adults, stresses
the combatitive aspects of the sport. This alone would keep most parents
away. Karate at The Little Gym however, is not about landing punches
or kicks, but developing the muscle coordination that comes from karate. The
repetition of arm and leg movements works to increase strength, coordination,
and discipline. These skills will be necessary later on if the child goes on to
pursue a more contact-oriented karate school; perhaps they may even want to
pursue competitive karate. For children who
are this young, however, actually punching and kicking each other aren’t safe
or appropriate. At The Little Gym, we can impart this skill and training
without the risk of injury.
Our karate school for children is strictly non-contact,
non-competitive and includes gymnastics. The program is low stress and loaded
with music and laughter. We also teach basic blocks, punches and kicks while
emphasizing a healthy attitude over absolute precision. Kids learn
concentration and focusing skills through fun and organized activities that are
developmentally correct. It is available for children ages 4-12.
Karate is only one of the many programs available at
The Little Gym, of course. For a change of pace you can always sign up for one
of these other activities:
Dance The Little Gym Way - Classes incorporate 30
minutes each of dance and gymnastics, giving children the opportunity to build
strength, coordination and motor skills. Dance classes are taught in a relaxed,
non-competitive environment.
Summer and Holiday Camps – These are the perfect break
for kids (and parents!) during the long summer months and during holiday time.
Available to children ages 3-8.
Birthday Parties - Every party includes plenty of
music, movement, games and fun, created especially for each child. Our
facilities and staff are bright, cheerful and child-friendly. A party at The
Little Gym® is a no stress birthday party for parents, because we handle
everything from invitations to clean-up.
Between the karate school for children, the gymnastics
programs, and all of the other activities available, your child will never be
wanting for something fun to do at The Little Gym. Contact your
local The Little Gym and see what catches your child’s fancy!
