Evening Youth Karate

Youth students, ages 7-13 in our EVENING Next Generation Karate Program are having a blast while learning valuable
skills they will use for the rest of their lives!

Watch your child’s confidence soar as they learn new things, build their balance
and coordination, and earn their stripes and belts. Unlike a team sport, they will
achieve on their own. They will earn their belts based on their skills, progress,
and hard work and they will do it on their own with the help of our staff.  Our
instructors & black belts are there to help your children develop confidence
through the program, which will enable them to fend off bullying, say NO to
drugs and other negative peer pressure, and feel comfortable that they can
defend themselves if necessary.

Martial arts begin and end with RESPECT…

Parents need all the help they can get in today’s world reinforcing the concepts of respectfulness and good manners. Our
students are taught from Day One that respect is the first rule of martial arts and we demand that they demonstrate inside
and outside of the dojo. You will see how our students respond and speak to their instructors by saying “Yes, sir” or “Yes,
Ma’am” and how we teach them the concept of obeying cheerfully. If their respect level outside of the karate school is not
proper we may delay rank testing or even take a belt away for a week. Master Jhoon Rhee once said that without respect
karate is just street fighting. We take respect seriously here at Family Karate without creating a military school atmosphere.
Wait until you see that report card…

Practicing karate will also help develop better concentration which
can lead to better grades in school. The focus and concentration
that it takes a child to earn a new belt will invariably transfer to their
schoolwork. Many doctors, teachers, and school administrators
recommend the martial arts for children that have ADD, ADHD, or
other issues with focus. Karate is not a magic bullet, but over time
it does help!


It’s easy to get started…

We have a great Introductory Program that allows your child to participate in 2 weeks worth of classes for free.  We offer
this program for two reasons. First, we want to have the opportunity to show you how we are going to develop the qualities
in your child that you are looking for and what makes our school so different from others.  Second, it gives you and your
child a chance to really experience our school, the classes, and the people involved.

Call us at 417-256-4290 set up a time to start this introductory program or go to the Contact Us page and fill it out
completely so that we can get back to you promptly.
