Martial Arts Class Descriptions
General Information
Empower Martial Arts offers Kajukenbo/Kajukenpo Karate classes for children, teens and adults!
Initially, children are placed into a martial arts class based on age. Once a child’s actual abilities are assessed, we may suggest placement into a different karate class. Our goal, at Empower Martial Arts, is to adequately challenge each student (of all ages) so that their martial arts training experience is positive and successful.
Our core martial arts program consists of the following programs. Each program offers several classes throughout each week.
Dyno-Mite Pre-Karate Class (4 to 6 yrs old)
The goal of the Dyno-Mite Pre-Karate program is to prepare the students, ages 4 to 6 years old, for the Samurai Warrior Karate program. Students in the Dyno-Mite program learn:
- Basic karate techniques, technique combination and movement patterns,
- How to participate in structured activities, and
- About respect, discipline, and confidence.
Students get great physical exercise for 30 – 45 minutes, which means parents are giving them the greatest gift of all – good health!
We understand that this young age needs to have fun, too. So, the curriculum of skills and knowledge is taught through various “karate” games. Every activity used in class has a purpose for developing skills or learning information. Children are gaining important life skills while participating in a fun and healthy activity that can offer lifelong benefits.
Samurai Warrior (7 to 11 yrs old) Kajukenbo/Kajukenpo Karate
Karate students in this class experience:
- Instruction on the martial arts information and skills required for each belt promotion requirements,
- Physical and mental drills/routines intended to build strong minds and good people by incorporating lessons in discipline, respect, confidence, courage, honesty and integrity, and
- Fitness and martial arts training activities that are safe and appropriate for this age group are used in the classes.
Junior (12 – 15 yrs old) & Adult (16 and older) Kajukenbo/Kajukenpo Karate
An individual can train in the Empower Martial Arts program for a variety of personal goals, including:
- Competition (we can prepare students to compete in sport karate or kickboxing),
