All parents want their kids to stand out, but there's one activity your child can do that will set them apart from the crowd - the Kids Karate classes at International Karate Association.
Our goal for children is to make them feel confident and disciplined enough to avoid negative peer pressures that meet our kids far earlier than we would like. Every one of IKA's Kids Karate students will make friends and learn important aspects of the Martial Arts curriculum.
There is a common belief that Martial Arts training can turn children into bullies. Nothing could be further from the truth. Martial Arts training teaches discipline, respect, and responsibility while also teaching children to concentrate and achieve their goals. These skills are easily transferred to the child's every day life. Far from teaching children to become bullies, an education in the Martial Arts helps to prepare a child to become a useful and more honorable citizen.
Your child will:
Overall, your child will be happier and healthier as a result of karate training.
When you enroll your child in the Kids Karate classes at IKA, you're setting them up for a lifetime of success. With all the positive changes you're bound to see in your kids, there's no reason to wait to get started.

I am very pleased that I have found your Karate studio. I feel very welcome as a new student. I have found all staff/ instructors to be profoundly patient and beyond skilled on an exponential level.
The most evident thing to me as a new student is: I feel the heart and joy of this Karate because everybody in the studio conveys that feeling. So for me.. if you want my input as a newcomer,I like the joy the most :) and the : hard work, sweat, wood floors and nothing fancy.
I have told ALL my friends where I work ( in a hospital ) to come visit because I think that your studio is a GEM!! I have a friend who does Judo at work, and he was interested to stop by with his instructor - but... I do not know the policy on drop ins, and do not want to be rude.
So to sum up, if I had one recommendation to change it would be: don't fundamentally. That is the truth Your studio is very unique. I would maybe recommend some add'l items for purchase- like bumper stickers, or T- shirts w/ IKA logo - because I will so represent.
I think also that the Kumite tournaments you will be doing will benefit the kids. BTW- I also think your web site is excellent too. So that is my 2 cents. Thanks for this privilege!
