Four different colored Victory Patches are available to accommodate
all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Karate Kid: Blue, Silver,

What are the Benefits of Karate for Kids?
Self Confidence - It does not come naturally
for many children, but rather is developed over a period of time. As a child
accomplishes new goals, his or her confidence level increases. Children become
more self confident in karate because they progress individually at their own
pace and are not judged against others.
Self-Defense - Childrens self defense
takes many forms. Karate teaches children to think instead of panic in potentially
serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids.
Better Grades - Being a Karate Kid also
means being a better student. All kids in the Karate for Kids program learn
skills, such as following directions, paying attention in class, and participate
in class activities that help them to become better students.
Every Child Wins - In karate, every kid
can be a winner instead of a bench sitter because karate allows children to
reach for their own potential rather than directly competing against other kids.
Coordination - Karate challenges the
entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility, and poise... qualities
often neglected in many team sports available to children in the age group.
Fun - Karate lessons are a dynamic and
challenging approach to the martial arts for children who are athletic, energetic,
awkward, or shy, cold, nice, or maybe even a little wild once in a while.
