KIDSAFE Youth Self Defense & Safety Awareness Karate runs three times a year from October through June. Geared to children ages five and older, this program is designed to enhance self esteem, self discipline, and safety awareness. Students are placed into classes according to age and ability. A black-belt instructor teaches beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques for self defense only. Self discipline and defense rather than aggressiveness are promoted. Weekly safety flyers focus on a wide range of topics, including stranger safety, fire safety, and more.
