East Madison Martial Arts, LLC

Children's classes begin with a series of age appropriate stretches and warm up exercises. Our instructors have a great deal of experience working with children and lead an energetic and fun class where learning is centered around a relaxed and enjoyable non-competitive atmosphere. A class warm up may begin with a simple game of follow the leader where one student leads the class in skipping, running, and jumping around the room. Games such as "Sensei Says" (a karate version of Simon Says) let students practice their techniques in a fun yet motivating setting. Students learn respect for their fellow classmates and work together in an environment where there are beginning and advanced students all encouraging one another to succeed. The ultimate goal is that children learn self-respect and to be proud of their abilities in and out of the martial arts.

The class etiquette at East Madison Karate, LLC is based upon respect. Respect for the art of Karate, respect for the dojo (school) where we practice our art, respect for the sensei (teacher) who instructs us, and respect for our fellow students.
