Monday and Wednesday Class

Kids Karate Class (5-8 Yr Old's) - Mondays & Wednesdays 5:30-6 PM

Idaho Shōrin-ryū will teach young minds to learn the basics of martial arts from our friendly and experienced instructors. Through fun drills, repetition, and games, our youngest  members will begin to develop self-control, focus, and patience. This class is the basic starting point for the 5-9 age group.

Our dojo offers students ages 9-13 year old instruction in basic motions, blocking, forms, and the begins of weapons training. This range of activities will have beginners understanding how to punch and kick as well as experienced practitioners working on memorizing and perfecting forms. All students will be actively evaluated and prepared for their belt advancements.

Idaho Shōrin-ryū training helps young students develop both fine and gross motor skills, as well as strength, self-confidence, self-discipline, flexibility, and cardio fitness. It also helps young people to understand physical fitness as part of a healthy lifestyle, and develop good habits early. Self-defense techniques help Idaho Shōrin-ryū students develop their skills by allowing them to practice with different threatening situations and experiment with "what-if scenarios". We want our students to keep an open mind, and have fun throughout their experience at Idaho Shōrin-ryū Dojo.

When are self-control, respect for others, and focus more important than during pre-adolescent years? Our highest level classes provide a space for kids to exercise and focus in a safe environment, where they will build life long friendships, as well as practice healthy habits and behavior. While this age group (9 and up) will see many advanced students working on sparring, obtaining their highest belts, and even pursuing their next black belt  dan, we also welcome new students and parents to come and try Idaho Shōrin-ryū. They will be surrounded by experienced peers, who have spent their training preparing to lead others in the inclusive and maturity that Martial Arts training brings.
