Traditional Kids Karate Classes
At Arashi-Do we offer traditional Shotokan Karate classes for kids starting at age 4 and up; we have been teaching kids karate for over 30 years. We believe that kids learn best through age appropriate skills and drills so we group the kids into classes by age and belt level. Although we are serious about our martial arts training we make our classes lots of fun!
Our 4 to 7 year old karate program is called Little Dragons. We use a simplified version of our kids curriculum to help 4 to 7 year olds learn real Shotokan karate while they learn how to move their bodies, to follow directions and to interact successfully with others.
Our Youth karate program is for ages 8 to 15. Youth classes are longer and more challenging and the material is more technical. Kids love the structure of karate and we design our classes around skill building drills and fun.

“KARATE is FUN!!!” I have never seen my daughter get so engaged in an activity before. She also likes the fact that she is a potential black belter. Her goals are set and she wants to be able to attain them.

I enrolled my son in karate to help him learn self-confidence. In a world of bullying I wanted to give my child every tool possible to handle such struggles in his youth and into adulthood. After his first class, I knew Arashi-Do would be a life altering experience.
