0118.403 ADAPTIVE KARATE (AGES 7+)
For children with special needs, the benefits of martial arts can be
invaluable. Consistency and repetition are key - repetition of the
same location, same faces, same curriculum, and knowing what
to expect are the process to help them succeed. With continuous
structure and fun exercises, even the child with multisensory issues
can rise to the occasion. Adding a traditional martial arts program
to a child’s existing therapies can only assist them in reaching their
goals faster. Focus, concentration, balance, tone, awareness, selfregulation,
core strength, reduced anxiety, and spatial awareness
are just a few of the benefits your child will receive.

Karate techniques are incorporated with essential motor skills
for 3-4 year olds. The curriculum includes balance, memory,
teamwork, coordination, focus, and other age specific skills
training. Often young children want to do what the big kids
do but don’t have the essential motor skills. This class teaches
those while building self-esteem and respect for self and others.
