🥋 Teen/Adult Karate (Ages 13+)
These classes are for 13 years old and up. Students of all ranks from White Belt to Black Belt train together. We find the combination of teen energy and adult maturity a great formula for exciting and energizing classes. The mixture of belt ranks also allows a White Belt to be paired with an upper-level belt so they can acquire the tools needed for improved confidence and self-defense as quickly as possible.
