About This Activity
Taught by Karate4KidsUSA We are thrilled to bring Karate 4 Kids USA to our Laurence community! This exciting new program is designed to build self-confidence, physical fitness, and focus while introducing students to the dynamic world of martial arts. Karate is more than just kicks and punches, it’s about patience, persistence, and discipline. Through fun, high-energy classes, students will: - Develop strength, coordination, and balance - Learn to set goals and stick to them - Improve focus and problem-solving skills - Practice self-defense in a safe and supportive environment With soft-target training and limited peer-to-peer contact, this program is designed specifically for young children, ensuring a fun, engaging, and empowering experience. Our expert instructors make sure that every lesson is filled with learning, movement, and motivation! We can’t wait to see our students challenge themselves, grow, and have fun as they embark on this exciting martial arts journey. Let’s get ready to kick, punch, and achieve great things—together! IMPORTANT: Unforms are mandatory and included in the cost of the fall class. Please note that Belt testings are available when students become eligible: $50 per student (not included in this class price). Belt testing in karate is a structured process that allows students to demonstrate their progress, skills, and dedication as they advance through different levels of training. Each belt represents a new stage of mastery, with students learning and refining techniques, forms (kata), self-discipline, and mental focus along the way. During a belt test, students perform a series of techniques, drills, katas, and sparring exercises (depending on the level) to show proficiency in what they’ve learned. Instructors evaluate their strength, precision, control, and understanding of martial arts principles before awarding the next belt.
