Karate for Kids
This popular martial arts program continues another season of learning, skill development and advancement. The “Turn of the Tide”, Martial Arts program works to teach students to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. These classes are ongoing and new students are always welcomed. Classes are held in the gymnasium in the Lavins Activity Center. Class sizes are limited.

Beginners classes are for students ages 5 years to 8 years old that are new to Karate or have attained a Junior Ranking from Junior Yellow Belt to Junior Red Belt.

Advanced classes are for students 9 years old an up that are new to Karate or students that have attained the rank of 8th Gup Purple Belt and up.

Sparring class is for all students regardless of age or rank. Sparring class should be taken in conjunction with a beginner or Advanced Karate class.

Weapons class is for students who have attained the rank of 6th Gup Green Belt or higher and should be taken in conjunction with an Advanced Karate class.

Forms Class
The Forms Class is designed for students to improve their Forms training. This class is offered to students who have attained the rank of Junior Red Belt or 9th Gup Blue Belt and higher. In this class students will perfect their current forms making them tournament quality and begin working on their next form. This class is good for both the student that enjoys the beauty of the art of “forms” and the student who struggles with forms and wants to improve in this area of their martial arts training. In a normal 8 week session of Karate, forms are practiced for two weeks. In this class we will work on forms every week helping you to improve and retain your training.

Karate for Teens
A teen karate class is now being offered that is designed just for you. Designed by teens for teens, each class will start with a fun warm up to music and then the traditional karate training that enhances the physical skills of strength, fitness, balance, coordination, and flexibility with the mental skills of focus, patience, courage, confidence, perseverance, respect, discipline and dedication being applied.  Issues that teens face today and self defense techniques will also be woven into this specially designed class.  Sensei Marino Santi will be co-teaching this class.  Teen class is for all students born in or before 1995 regardless of rank.
