Early Start Karate Fitness Program

Designed specifically for children 3 1/2 to 5 years of age, the Renseikan Early Start Karate Fitness is a half-hour program offered once a week. In our Early Start program, children will:

• learn the basics of physical fitness and coordination
• become familiar with the elements of traditional Karate-do
• develop self-confidence and self-esteem
• develop an "I Can Do It" attitude

Our Early Start Karate Fitness program takes advantage of younger children's shorter attention spans by incorporating elements of basic physical fitness and traditional Karate-do into games and activities which focus on the development of balance, concentration, and discipline.

With Renseikan Early Start Karate Fitness, children gain exposure to the general physical skills which will give them the confidence to approach and enjoy activities like the martial arts, sports and dance. The fun-filled environment encourages participation in activities geared toward the development of:

• balance and coordination
• dexterity
• physical abilities such as throwing, catching and running
• karate basics such as punches and blocks

While parent participation is not required, interested parents are encouraged to take the class with their child. We also encourage parents to stay and watch the weekly classes in our comfortable viewing area.
