Our children have many ways to stay fit and healthy but city-kids also need to have a good run! This highly requested course gets children moving, encourages them to challenge themselves, and teaches them the power of the human body!

Our running teachers are all sports enthusiasts with a background in teaching and an eye for safety. The lessons are great fun and incorporate games to teach the kids about running, form and endurance.

At this young age, we focus on the fundamentals aspects that will help prepare children for studying a life-long, enjoyable practice of Martial Arts. Karate will improve your child's balance, coordination, strength, physical and mental toughness, self-confidence, and discipline.
