The Karate Kids Club is an innovative, low cost, effective program!

Before you begin reading, please take a moment and view our introduction video here.

Karate Kids instructors come right to your child’s elementary school, and run 40 minute long lessons during their lunch recess, nutrition break or after school, once per week.

The Karate Kids Club helps children learn Martial Arts in a non-contact, non-competitive atmosphere. The lessons focus on building character and developing physical fitness while having FUN!

The Karate Kids Club costs around $35.00 per month, which is less than half of the cost of regular Martial Arts lessons.

To ensure that no children are excluded, Karate Kids provides scholarships to students who have the desire to learn but not the financial means to do so. The Karate Kids Club also provides parents the opportunity to have their children participate in Martial Arts, without the stress and time commitment of driving back and forth to evening classes.

Parents are thrilled when their children begin to display newly developed positive traits such as self-esteem, listening skills, respect and increased physical fitness. Unlike many other sports programs, which may be intimidating for some children, The Karate Kids Club is a fun fitness activity where children can develop skills at their own pace.

We strive to make sure that every child who participates in a Karate Kids lesson has the chance to experience happiness, fulfillment, acknowledgment, pride and achievement! It is only through our commitment to each and every one of our students that we have had such positive results.

The Karate Kids Club - Developing confidence through Martial Arts achievement!

Once every 4 weeks students are tested for ‘progress stripes’. The progress stripes are earned through completing Martial Arts tests as well as homework assignments based on the Character Education lessons. These progress stripes are accumulated on the student’s Karate belt until they are ready to graduate to the next coloured Karate belt.

The coloured belt testings take place at the end of the program. The belt tests are held during the Karate Kids classes, while the graduation ceremonies are held at our local instructor’s Martial Arts Center. These graduation ceremonies are the opportunity for friends and family members to see what their ‘Karate Kids’ have learned in class.

This combination of short term goal setting (progress stripes) and long term goal setting (new Karate belts) keeps our students motivated to achieve!

Karate Kids Canada is a committed team of Martial Arts and Fitness Instructors devoted to bringing the benefits of Martial Arts and character development to children in elementary schools across Canada.

We believe in providing cost-effective, accessible, superior programs.  Through our unique combination of Martial Arts, physical fitness and character-education lessons it is the goal of Karate Kids to make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of our students

Karate Kids Canada's top priorities are:

• To Build Strong Moral Character:
Karate Kids classes are designed to bring awareness to the concepts of integrity, self-discipline, courtesy and compassion. Character talks and reward-based assignments integrate these concepts into students’ daily activities.

• To Introduce Children to Basic Martial Arts:
Traditional Martial Arts helps students develop focus, discipline, and concentration through a controlled class environment, repetitive practice of essential Martial Arts movements and an emphasis on the development of each student’s character, as opposed to winning or losing a game. Karate Kids’ ratio of at least 1 instructor to 20 students ensures that the learning atmosphere is well supervised and controlled.

  • To Make Students Feel Important and Acknowledged:
We at Karate Kids Canada feel that the development of each child's self confidence is an essential part of our program. Therefore, we have incorporated several forms of acknowledgment into our program, and we strive to recognize every participant in each class. Our program features leadership team participation, earned character-education badges, and monthly progress checks designed to give participants regular, positive feedback.

• To Increase Levels of Physical Fitness and Focus:

Karate Kids ensures that participants enjoy at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity in each class, in a non-contact, non-competitive atmosphere. Our exclusive games teach and develop fine motor-skills and increase students' strength and endurance. Repetitive practice of traditional Martial Arts increases self-control and focus.
