Learn the art of Kempo Karate. This six-week program offers beginner and advanced levels. The beginner level teaches age- appropriate self-defense techniques; the advanced level is for students who have previously taken karate and focuses on more difficult age-appropriate self-defense techniques. Both levels teach important life skills, such as confidence, self-control, and patience. At the conclusion of the test, the students will earn their rank, which, depending on their level, will be either a stripe or a belt.
