Little Lions Karate Classes (Ages 4-7)

Our program teaches focus by using fun, engaging drills that require concentration, such as following simple commands and practicing specific movements. Instructors encourage repetition and positive reinforcement, helping the child learn to pay attention to their body and surroundings.

First State Karate incorporates playful activities like games and challenges that align with basic martial arts skills. Instructors create an energetic and supportive environment where the child feels excited to learn while building confidence.

Self-confidence is taught by celebrating small achievements and encouraging the child to set and reach personal goals, like mastering a new move or improving focus. Through positive reinforcement and a supportive environment, our students learn how to believe in their abilities and take pride in their progress.

We teach respect by modeling and reinforcing polite behaviors such as bowing to instructors and fellow students, demonstrating courtesy both inside and outside of class. Instructors emphasize the importance of listening carefully, following instructions, and treating others with kindness, and other core values in the martial arts.

First State Karate promotes teamwork by incorporating partner drills and group activities that require cooperation and communication. Instructors guide children to support each other, whether through cheering on classmates or working together to complete a task, fostering a sense of community.

Perseverance is an essential character trait to learn. We teach it by encouraging students to keep trying, even when they struggle with a new skill or technique. Instructors emphasize that progress takes time, celebrating effort and improvement rather than just success.
