Kids Karate.
Confidence, focus, and respect — taught through the same Okinawan kata that built Greg Tearney's reputation fifty-six years ago.
Ages 4–12
The program
An age-specific program built around how children actually grow. Through fun exercises, drills, and belt tests, students develop self-confidence, focus, and coordination — and parents see it carry over into school and home.
Classes are split by ability level, so every child is challenged at the right pace and becomes a confident, capable leader.
Kids are grouped by age and belt. Because placement depends on age and experience, we'll help set your schedule when you start.
- Ages 4 and up
- Classes split by ability level
- Repetition disguised with fun
- Builds focus, confidence & discipline
