Samurai Karate for Kids has been based on Japanese martial arts in Torrance, South Bay, and Los Angeles for 18 years. The program states that a child will build up a strong body as well as a flexible mind through the karate training, kata, and sparring. For pre-school children ages 3.5–5 years, the program includes learning social skills through basic karate movements and discipline and learning “rules and thank you!” For children ages 6–9 years, the program teaches karate techniques and forms called kata, and introduces belt tests and sparring while children learn respect, focus, and independence. For ages 10–15 years, the program teaches advanced karate techniques and kata, and advanced belt tests and sparring start. A contact option and a free trial are available.
