Shotokan Karate Federation of Michigan

The  Martial Arts karate program provides fun, high energy classes for children of ages 8 - 10.

Students are taught basic Karate techniques with an emphasis on self defense. Through pad work they practice sparring and kicking techniques which improve their flexibility, balance and coordination. In class students are expected to use a proper attitude of respect, discipline, self control and cooperation. Together these skills will promote fitness and confidence.

A student begins at the Advanced White Belt / Blue Stripe Belt level. By attendance, a demonstration of skill and the instructor's approval the student will advance through the Purple with Black Stripe, Brown with Black Stripe, Red with Black Stripe and Black with White Stripe levels. Upon passing the next test the student proceeds to the Traditional Martial Arts program with a solid Yellow belt.
