2025 Summer camp
Why Summer Karate Camp?
A dedicated week of karate training is invaluable for a student’s progress. Unlike regular classes, where training is spread out over weeks and months, karate camp provides concentrated, focused instruction that allows your child to advance faster, sharpen their skills, and develop a stronger connection to the benefits of martial arts. Through a mix of structured training, challenging drills, and team-building activities, your child will leave feeling stronger, more confident, and more motivated to continue on the path of a dedicated martial artist.
Camps Goals For Your Child:
1. Strengthening the Foundations of Karate—Camp provides extra time to refine and improve key karate techniques:
-
Strikes and blocks: Your child will sharpen their punches, kicks, and defensive techniques with advanced drills.
-
Kata (forms): Daily kata practice will improve precision, flow, and memorization.
-
Self-defense skills: Camp includes hands-on training for real-world situations, such as escapes from grabs, effective blocking, and de-escalation techniques.
2. Fun & Engaging Karate Drills—Learning Karate must be fun for your child. Our camp includes games and challenges to improve speed, agility, and reaction time:
-
