Karate Teens - Ages 13 to 17
At Newport Martial Arts, the style we teach teens is Oki-Ryu Kenpo Karate. Students are grouped by age level because, although the curriculum is the same across all age groups, what the children are developmentally prepared to absorb is different at each age.
For the teens, we emphasize:
- Improving Strength, Endurance, Flexibility
- Improving Coordination and Speed
- Enhancing Aerobic (cardiovascular) development
- Improving Mental focus
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Character development
- Maximize martial arts skills for Competition and/or Self Defense
Instructors:
- Mr. Steven Burrill
- Ms. Linda Haverty
Getting Started - This age group can be anxious about starting something new. In order in increase their comfort level, we suggest your first step be to visit the school with your teen -- no appointment is necessary. Please check the schedule and try to visit when a class of the appropriate age is training. This gives you and your teen then opportunity to see the facilities, meet the staff, and watch a class in action. After that, we offer two private, introductory lessons at no charge, where we cover a few basic stances, blocks, kicks, and punches. We will show the student how to bow-in (start class), bow-out (end class) and tie their belts. .
Class Times:
Teen classes are 60 minutes long and meet twice per week
Mon - Wed 6:30 pm Tues - Thur 6:30 pm
Class days and times are subject to change. Please contact us to verify days, times, and space availability.
