Watching those Power Rangers and other cartoon
or action movie characters kick and punch their way out of
trouble has made karate "cool" in today’s kids’ eyes. It also
explains why martial arts is now a popular birthday party theme.

Children enjoy the parties because they get the
chance to try out some new moves. Parents like them because
their children are being active and can actually learn some
important lessons. "When kids take karate lessons, we don’t just
teach them punching and kicking,""
"We also teach them life skills, such as the
importance of being respectful to their parents, how to focus in
school, and how to resolve conflicts and arguments without
letting them escalate to violence. Even during a birthday party,
the kids learn a lot. And they have fun while they do it."
A typical martial arts party lasts 90 minutes
and introduces children as young as five to basic karate moves
and defence techniques. "We start with a basic Martial Arts
techniques before playing more traditional birthday style games.
We have tons of games that we can play with the children,
depending on their ages."
Watch you child break a board in front of all
his friends and cut their birthday cake with a real sword
(under Instructors supervision of course)
