Martial Arts for Kids
Learning a martial art is not only about the physical challenges or fitness training. For kids, teaching them about martial arts is also a great way to learn social skills, develop self discipline, and raise mental awareness of their surroundings.

Says Aurore N. on Yelp.com: “…K1 probably has one of the best kids karate program[s]. Having taught this for years, Sensei Shanas knows how to get a hold of those kids and teach them great self defense skills.”
While traditional karate places emphasis on self-development, modern Japanese-style karate training emphasizes developing the psychological elements into a proper attitude: perseverance, courage, virtue, and leadership.
Says user C.R. on Yelp.com: “I’ve been taking my son to this place for a year and a half and can’t get enough of it. The karate classes are great (I finally got pulled in to taking them myself about a month ago!) and the boxing classes look intense… The Sensei is Jack Shanas and everyone is always friendly, generous and supportive, but once on the mat I love the discipline and intensity of the classes. Great place for kids and ‘kids at heart’.”
Our goal is to the build the foundations for lifelong skills that will benefit your child for years to come. Concentration and reflex games develop an increased attention span, agile motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Practicing in a group with other children increases fitness and social skills as the child forms a bond with other students and learns the importance of working as a team. And of course, the focus is always on having fun!
Whether one considers karate a martial art, a sport, a combat exercise, or a self-defense method, at K-Onefitness, students are trained to understand the motor skill development, and mental awareness that are by products of karate training. Says D.D. Jennings on Citysearch: “Kids enroll into the kids karate program and the kickboxing program if they’re at least 13. I’m waiting for my daughter to turn three so that I can enroll her into Preschool karate. This place is great for all ages.”
