Typical Class Breakdown
For Juniors at the beginner level, we emphasize the general developmental principles of karate and self-defense. These classes are usually 45 minutes in length with drills and skills intervals lasting 10-15 minutes each. At this level, our karate class warm ups and exercises are more challenging to further build strength, improve athletic conditioning, and enhance coordination. Students can expect a higher level of detail in the movements and martial arts techniques that are taught. Not to worry; every drill and skill is taught by one of our caring instructors, dedicated to providing effective coaching, tailored and specific held, and positive feedback to aid progress.
Juniors practice with partners much more often than the Tiny Tigers do, and a use higher level of contact in general. Note that we still always keep that contact at a light to moderate level to lessen chance of injury or undue impact. Additionally, as the โself-defenseโ aspect of martial arts becomes more prominent in this program, we begin to teach kids about stranger awareness, including proper protocols for talking to and approaching strangers.
