Our Core Program is designed specifically for children ages 8–12, blending karate and kickboxing fundamentals in a fun, structured, and motivating environment. Students learn practical self‑defense skills while developing strength, coordination, balance, and overall athletic ability.
Each class focuses on more than kicks and punches. Our students build essential life skills such as confidence, focus, respect, discipline, and teamwork. Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, every child is encouraged, challenged, and supported to reach their full potential—both on and off the mat.
At the heart of the Core Program is our striking curriculum, where students learn to use their hands, feet, and knees in controlled and purposeful ways. Through structured drills and pad work:
Each Core Martial Arts class blends Karate, Kickboxing, and Jiu‑Jitsu in an energetic, structured format that keeps kids moving, learning, and motivated. Students train under the guidance of encouraging instructors who emphasize self‑defense, fitness, and life skills — the three pillars of our program.
Sessions include:
Dynamic warm‑ups and conditioning to build strength, balance, and coordination.
Striking drills and grappling practice that teach proper technique, reaction, and control.
Partner and pad work to develop timing, accuracy, and teamwork.
Monthly Mat Chats — short, meaningful discussions on character and life skills like nutrition, first aid, and anger management.
Community service activities such as beach sweeps and animal shelter drives that teach compassion, leadership, and responsibility.
Students leave each class feeling empowered, focused, and proud of their progress.
The Karate World Youth System helps children gain skills that extend far beyond the mat. Through consistent training, your child will learn how to:
Apply self‑defense techniques to stay safe and confident against bullying.
Build lasting fitness habits that improve strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Develop key life skills like respect, focus, teamwork, and perseverance.
Understand emotional control and how to make positive decisions under pressure.
Strengthen their sense of responsibility and community involvement through service projects.
Our goal is to help every student grow into a strong, confident, and well‑rounded individual — both inside and outside the dojo.
Not at all! Our classes are designed for all experience levels. Beginners are given personal attention to learn the basics safely, while more experienced students are challenged to continue improving their skills.
For the best results and steady progress, consistent training helps reinforce techniques, build strength, and develop good habits both in and out of class.
Parents often notice big improvements in focus, confidence, respect, and responsibility. The lessons learned on the mat carry over to school, sports, and home life — helping kids set goals, stay motivated, and make positive choices.
