The Kid's Karate Club is a high energy, progressive, motivational martial arts program developed specifically for kids to have fun while learning at their own pace. Students will learn stances, strikes, blocks, kicks and sparring techniques all while building confidence. They will learn about strangers and how to combine the techniques they learn to protect themselves.

This 12 video series program includes games, drills and actual classes that mirror an in-person course.  Pricing is per household, so students can participate on their own, or the whole family can participate together.  Students will have access to the videos for 3 months to participate as their schedule allows.  At the end of the course, students will be eligible to test for their next color belt, where they can see their achievements as they advance thru the program.  This is a year-round progressive martial arts program with belt progression through Black Belt.  

Kid’s Karate Club uniforms are available at www.KidsKarate.com - but not required for virtual classes.
