Little Dragons: Kids age 4 to 6. Children must turn 4 by September 1 to enroll. This is intended for beginner and novice students in preschool, kindergarten, or first grade. The class is repeatable for a second year.

Level 1: A multi-age youth and family class for beginner, novice, and intermediate students. (Ages 6 or 7 to adult*)
The class welcomes both youth students and families taking karate together. Please note: six-year-olds should speak to us about class placement - Level 1 may be appropriate for first graders with 1+ year prior enrollment in Little Dragons or 1+ year of a similarly structured physical activity. All other beginners age 7 to adult should start in level 1.

Level 2: Intermediate and advanced karate students. (Invited to join) This class usually has students from fifth grade to adult and has age-specific rank requirements to join. Students with prior martial arts experience at another school may also join level 2 with instructor permission. A full set of sparring gear is required for this class due to partner work and kumite drills.

Private Lessons: 30 minute or 1-hour private lessons are available by appointment. Limited times available with Laurinda Sensei and sometimes a Senpai.
