“Martial arts should be an extension of our way of living, of our philosophies, of the way we educate our children, of the job we devote so much of our time to, of the relationships we cultivate, and of the choices we make everyday”
Our program is tailored specifically for children between the ages of 3 and 7. While many martial art studios combine various age groups, we take a different approach at the Hoteikan Dojo. We believe that young children in this age range require a specially designed curriculum to support their mental and physical development. That's why we separate them into their own age-specific group.
What sets us apart even further is our dedicated Sensei Rebecca, who oversees our 'Lil Dragon' program. She brings a wealth of expertise as a public school elementary teacher with a master's degree in early childhood education. With her guidance, our curriculum goes beyond traditional karate skills and extends into valuable life lessons.
In our safe and enjoyable environment, children not only develop motor skills and learn self-defense but also acquire essential life skills such as focus and attention. The habits formed during these formative years often persist into adolescence and adulthood. This makes it crucial to expose children to positive experiences. Our program is more than just a sport; it's a vital support system for the positive development of your child.
“The sensei’s take the time to explain to the students, even the smallest children the true nature of karate. They make the children understand that karate is not about violence. Its about courtesy, responsibility, focus, consideration and respect. There is tremendous focus and very serious training inside the dojo. Outside the dojo, there is a close knit family and friendship. ”
