WAY OF THE CRANE

Karate Kids

Martial Arts is an excellent means of teaching your children social skills, responsibility, discipline and emotional balance, making aggressive children more gentle, and shy ones more self confident. Each child at Way of the Crane is taught the importance of respect, honor and self control as part of the fundamentals of the art. The junior student of Way of the Crane is not promoted because of attendance or mediocre performance. The children are expected to perform many disciplines at the standards set for promotion. These areas include basics, drills, kata, self defense and sparring. Each level may take a child years to attain, not weeks or months, as may be practiced elsewhere. Our teachings emphasize personal safety skills (both verbal and physical), judgment and decision making skills and upholding the five maxims of our school -- character, sincerity, effort, etiquette and self control. Of course they will gain from the benefits of good exercise, improved coordination and balance, and loads of fun! Parents are encouraged to observe classes as often as they wish from our visitors' viewing area.
