Youth Karate - Shinkyu Shotokan

Although self-defense may be the primary reason for taking up karate, this training has much more to offer. A young child can develop self-confidence, concentration, perseverance, good sportsmanship, a respectful attitude, good health along with techniques of self-defense. Parents can stay for first and last classes only. Students will learn commands in Japanese, become familiar with exercises, blocks, kicks and more. Students will be promoted to Level II when ready and promoted by instructor (often it takes 3 - 4 sessions). Karate Gi (uniform) is required and may be purchased from instructors. Sensei Sue Miller has studied Karate since 1972 and holds the rank of 8th Dan degree black belt.
