Empowering Kids Through Martial Arts

Help your child succeed by teaching them to control their behavior. Children who can control their impulses and emotions are more likely to have positive social interactions, manage stress and conflict, and achieve success in school and life. Parents play an important role in helping their children develop good behavior management skills, which are essential to their overall well-being and success.

Awesome gym. Great welcoming environment. The karate and the Brazilian Jiujitsu instruction is very high level. Some super tough rolls in grappling. An excellent summer program for the kids when they are off from school. I have visited multiple times and it was always an amazing experience.

Will My Child Become A Bully?

We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.

Do Parents Need To Stay?

We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids martial arts lessons, truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. And building strong family units is important to us at Johnny Karate NYC for our Brooklyn community.

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Lesson?

Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can do sport in! Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt.😳

Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. You will find Johnny Karate NYC in Brooklyn have martial arts classes for kids and adults that are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!

My Child Has ADHD, Will Martial Arts Help?

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes, is that it’s an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don’t even realise that is what our highly trained Kids Martial Arts Instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!

The best way to find out for yourself, is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You’ll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book in now! You will be glad you did!

Are Parents Allowed to Watch?

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!

Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

My Child Is Not Athletic, Will They Feel Left Out?

Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at sport. Kids martial arts classes really are an individual after school activity, that they do in a group.

The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they makes lots of great friends!

Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. Really… It’s their PASSION!
