Hughes Karate-do

Our Little Tigers class is for the smaller kids just starting out. Our emphasis is on basic stances, movement, avoiding attacks, punching and kicking. The child is introduced to kata with “Basic form #1”, and continues to grow with other kata such as Naihanchi and Pinan. These are the same kata the adults learn, with applications appropriate for young minds. We teach basic self-defense techniques against various attacks which are simple and easy for the smallest child to learn, while also providing realistic self-defense applications. Everything we teach the children is solidly grounded in traditional Okinawan Karate, so as they grow up and continue to train they learn increasingly sophisticated applications for every basic move they learned when they were smaller.
