Little Ninjas/KinderKarate
Our beginner’s kids programs offer an introduction into the world of Martial Arts for younger enthusiasts, starting at the age of 3. A great way to help prepare your child to start school, our programs focus on using the child’s energy to begin development on their physical, mental and emotional abilities, with a huge emphasis on developing their listening skills. This program combines traditional Martial Arts techniques with energetic, entertaining activities and games your kids will love. Years of teaching children of all ages has taught us that the number one priority of every class that young kids take part in is to make sure they have fun. Your child will take much more out of a single class if they get a chance to laugh and enjoy it, so our Kinderkarate & Ninja programs are high energy and exciting! Students will participate in a variety of exercises that will get their bodies moving, their minds thinking and their listening skills sharpened. The Foley family has found a way to instill discipline in a fun and safe manner while teaching skills that will help them in everyday life as they mature. The Martial Arts lifestyle will help your child grow into a confident & capable adult.
Junior Karate
The next age group for our Karate program is for children ages 7-12 years old. This program will teach children skills in traditional Kenpo Karate that will turn them into disciplined young men and women. Classes take a fun approach to teaching children self-defence applications, confidence, good health and fitness habits, and will help them build self-esteem without even realizing it. Children will participate in group activities such as sparring and individual exercises such as Kata. Being a part of the Junior Karate class will also help your child stay in good physical health as it promotes exercises and physical activity, challenging them with sit-ups, push-ups, stretching and more.
Junior Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
A kid-friendly version of our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu program for ages 4-12.

Children who display confidence are much less likely to be targeted by bullies. Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids of all sizes how to safely defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent.
Our kid’s Jiu-Jitsu program is fun based and teaches different techniques by using games and other enjoyable activities your child will love, while instilling confidence, discipline and a general knowledge of self-defense as they progress through this program.
