Instructor: Sensei Jason Johnson
This class is designed for children of the ages of 7-13 years of age. The program builds off the design of the Dynomite Program to assure continuity for students. The Junior Program tailors the instruction to the older student offering more structure and discipline while having some fun. The students are taught elementary karate moves to build coordination, balance and self confidence. The Junior Program delves into the more traditional aspects of karate to teach discipline, strength and character that impoves the students confidence and self esteem. The students are trained in self defense and grappling to defend themselves in potentially dangerous situations. The students are rewarded for positive behavior on the training floor and at home. The students are trained by black belt instructors with assistance from senior adult students. Instructors strive to give students focused instruction in small groups.
