Our teaching methods must be good, they have been around for 2000 years For centuries, millions of people have benefited from the teachings of Martial Arts, a system of self-defense created in the Orient that does not advocate the use of weapons. Instead, a philosophy that believes in strengthening the mind and body through self-discipline, fitness and awareness. At RKA Family Karate, we teach the fundamentals of the Martial Arts by combining the time tested Eastern philosophy of Martial Arts with the modern approach of Western teaching strategies. We offer a well-balanced program for adults and children that emphasizes pride, self-esteem, fitness and integrity. It's Great for Kids Martial Arts is good, clean fun for kids...and a great way to give kids a head start in life. At RKA Family Karate, they'll learn the positive benefits of self-discipline and confidence, develop coordination and increase strength and flexibility. Because a structure of respect is built into Martial Arts, children develop the ability to listen, learn, and achieve within a highly related environment. This proves to be an excellent reinforcement of study techniques for school. It's Not All Serious Just ask the kids. We regularly have social functions, pizza parties, sleep-overs and movie nights. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of success and accomplishment, making sure all kids feel great about themselves as they make their journey towards Black Belt. We make learning challenging as well as enjoyable. Not only do our students learn the most, they have the most fun too! Master the Art Our instructors are Black Belt Professionals. Their energy, enthusiasm, helpfulness and friendliness are proof that our program works. Parents enrolling children and teens are reassured to know that classes are conducted by instructors who expect best behavior, uphold rule, and provide continuous supervision. They strive daily to be the best they can be and they're dedicated to passing along that special quality of assurance and achievement to every student.
