We accept children 7 to 12 yrs as well as their parents or relatives to train along side them. Our experience is that the parents will enjoy engaging in a physical activity with their children instead of watching from the "side line" as in other sports. The same fundamentals are taught as in the adult class but we also engage the kids in fun activities based on karate principles. We emphasize the development of good character and respect for others while improving flexibility and body strength. Our club practices no contact karate.

Each beginner session runs for 4 months until new members are ready to test for their first belt level. Once they have successfully passed they are permitted to join in with the main classes of the dojo.

The first two classes are FREE without obligations to continue. All classes are located at the Fitness Centre, King's College Gym Building, Coburg Road, Halifax.

Here is what a few of our members say:

"The children and I really enjoy Karate, and look forward to it each week. It seems like a very healthy and positive thing for us to do together.

Thanks for all you put into making Karate a great experience for everyone in the club."

~ With appreciation, Jamie MacArthur, Pastor, Eastern Passage Baptist Church"

Karate Kids"We have been participating in the parent-youth class for over 2 years now.  It is a wonderful opportunity for my son and I to learn  together.  We have both significantly improved our fitness levels and  through this have become 'addicted' to our karate classes.  It doesn't  matter where you are starting from, only that you give your best  effort each class.

The instruction we receive is fantastic.  The members of the club are  enthusiastic and mindful of all of the various ages and levels of  ability, making karate practice safe and fun for all involved. Karate teaches us about commitment, dedication and most importantly,  respect for ourselves and others.  It is particularly helpful in  learning to focus our minds on the task at hand which can then extend  far beyond the dojo. We cannot say enough positive things about the experiences we have had  with the club."

~ Jeff & Noah Dempster

"I started karate over three years ago, as part of the parent/child class. This class mixes fun, discipline, pure karate techniques, and self-defence. No matter your level of sport or fitness, you can have fun with your child, and improve your fitness as well. I highly recommend this class."
