Little Dragons class enrollment will open in the late summer to new students. Please ask if you'd like to be added to the notification list for registration.



Enrollment and registration



Level 1: We welcome newcomers ages 7 to adult* to register for at any point in the year. Little Dragons graduates who are age 6 and have all four stripes may also join with instructor permission. Contact sensei@sitkakarate.org for details or registration forms.

Level 2: By invitation for intermediate and advanced karate students. Students with prior martial arts experience at another school may also join level 2 with instructor permission. Sparring gear is required for this class.

Little Dragons: Kids age 4 to 6 only. This class has concluded for the school year. Contact sensei@sitkakarate.org to be put on the interest list for next school year's class.

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



* New adult students may be asked to undergo background check before finalizing enrollment. This can be done though several options including in conjunction with getting an Amateur Athletic Union non-athlete youth-program card. Our program reserves the right to deny enrollment to any prospect and to dismiss any current student who has a history we feel is inconsistent with athlete guidelines.
