Why Kenpo Karate for my child?

Do you want your child more active and outgoing? Maybe more fit and not sitting around the house? Is your child overweight or a victim of bullying at school or in the neighborhood? If these are questions that you have asked yourself then Kenpo Karate is for your child.

Historically, training in karate allows your child to grow at their own pace while developing great personal habits and life skills. Your child will make friends in class and work with other children toward their karate goals. Parents can expect their child to:

• Develop discipline and focus that will help them at school, at home, and in life.
• Be able to set and achieve goals needed for belt advancement.
• Learn to be respectful of other people and property.
• Increase their self-esteem to help them be more assertive, confident, and outgoing.
• Develop great fitness habits to prevent bad health risks such as obesity, poor posture, depression, and lack of motivation.
• Learn how avoid being bullied and what to do if they are a victim.
