The students and instructors at the Academy of Kempo Karate believe that the foundation of our organization is built one student at a time in our childrenÂ’s program. Our goal is simple: we want to develop exemplary martial artists who are strong in both skill and character, and feel that achievement of this goal begins with the instruction of our youngest practitioners. We utilize an age-based approach to our childrenÂ’s instructional curriculum, which is specifically designed to develop the traits necessary for success not only in the martial arts, but at home, school, and in life as a whole. Our instructors approach childrenÂ’s training with passion and with an understanding of the physical, mental, and emotional development stages commonly associated with various age groups. With that knowledge in mind, The Academy of Kempo Karate divides childrenÂ’s classes into 3 age groups: the first being children who are 4-6 years of age, the second being children who are 7-9 years old, and the last being those who are 10-12 years old. At 13 years of age, students enter the adult program. All of our classes, regardless of age, are taught in an encouraging manner, with an emphasis on building confidence, social interaction skills, and martial discipline.
