Becoming successful in karate gives kids the confidence and added skills to try other sports and activities, which in turn helps them build better friendships with their classmates.

Skill in karate builds up from very simple movements and positions that any child can learn. Over time, karate will help improve strength, balance, coordination, and timing.

For many kids who are smaller than their peers or a little less physically coordinated than other kids their age, karate can be the perfect way to build confidence and stay fit.
