Karate for Kids at all Ages and Stages
Each program has slightly different expectations in terms of what students need to learn to progress in rank and much independence they are expected to have with material.
Younger Kids
Juniors – Generally the best program for 5 – 7 year olds (usually kids through 2nd grade).
Older Kids & Pre-Teens
Youth – Generally for 8 – 12 year olds or kids in 3rd grade and above. Some 12-year-olds may be ready for the Teens program, some 13 or 14 year olds may prefer the youth program. We work with each family individually to assess this.
Teens
Teens – Generally for ages 12 or 13 – 18. Some young teens may prefer the youth class. These classes are alongside the adult classes. Adult & Teen classes and are done in a format that creates structure for adults and teens to interact safely and with appropriate boundaries in fun and mutually supportive ways. Teens also have the option of to becoming volunteers to support younger kids’ classes.
