Classes
Each class is co-taught by a black belt martial artist and a behavioral therapist. Our students range in age from 3 years old through adulthood. Every student begins with a complementary trial lesson. Each individual is evaluated to provide appropriate class preparation, placement and advancement. Each trial is conducted by a martial artist and a behavioral therapist. A parent or guardian must be present. A trial will last between 30 and 45 minutes. This will allow for 20 to 30 minutes of class time and 10 to 20 minutes of discussion time.
Class Structure
Each class starts with a respectful bow and is followed with a consistent routine so our students have a sense of continuity and familiarity in every class. Our routine includes stretching, calisthenics, punching, kicking, and team building exercises. This all leads to a fun game-like activity followed by a review of our rules.
Small Group Classes
Kicking The Spectrum® offers small group classes consisting of 2 - 5 students.
Parent/Child Classes and Sibling Classes
Does your son or daughter want to take karate? Have you ever wanted to try karate? Do they have a sibling that would love to participate with them? Well if you said yes to either of these questions then we have a class for you. Kicking The Spectrum® is now offering a parent/child and sibling classes. These classes will allow both you and your child or siblings to learn the skills of Shotokan Karate, while having time to bond. This class is offered with limited space.
Private Lessons
Our private lessons follow the same structure as our classes. They allow Kicking The Spectrum® to tailor each lesson to accommodate the student’s individual needs.
