Kids Karate Program at the YMCA

Traditional Tang Soo Do Karate with True Martial Arts
Join our family-friendly Beginner Karate Program!  Our style of Martial Arts is Tang Soo Do.  It focuses on strong blocks, fast strikes, and high kicks, all with the goal of Self Defense application.  The program teaches the fundamentals of traditional Tang Soo Do in an inclusive and supportive environment. Students of all abilities will learn:

  • Basic Martial Arts Actions: Develop foundational skills and techniques.
  • Self-Defense: Build confidence and practical skills for safety.
  • Fitness & Coordination: Improve strength, flexibility, and overall physical well-being.

This is a 4 week session, but students can continue their martial arts journey afterwards with our Continuation Program.  Your karate kid can progress to higher belt ranks and build on their skills at the YMCA. Continuation program classes will be separate from Beginner Sessions.  In these Beginner Sessions, your student will learn new curriculum each week. The curriculum is building off of previous skills, so good attendance is recommended. Students can earn the foundational belt ranks of Yellow, Orange, and Orange Green Split when eligible.

True Martial Arts is a long standing studio active in the Plum School district and community.  However our Tang Soo Do affiliation reaches globally as we are part of an international federation.  We are proud to be a part of a larger community of students practicing Tang Soo Do and know that it is a safe and strong martial arts style right for everyone.  Our program fosters discipline, respect, and a sense of accomplishment, while providing a fun and engaging activity for all ages. Come be part of our martial arts family!
