"In the martial arts, the rewards
of a confident and grateful heart
are truly abundant."

We are proud to offer a strong and active kid's program. In addition to regular training classes, there are special events such as beach training, opportunities to participate in demonstrations and frequent pizza parties. The Manhattan Beach branch also offers a summer camp for kids. As an indication of their enthusiasm and commitment to the dojo, we have many students that have been involved for three years or more. Their participation helps them achieve life-long confidence, control and concentration, while learning courtesy and respect. Patrick Fard and his assistant instructors are also instrumental in helping those with ADD & ADHD.

Similar to adult class structure, kids classes feature technique, fitness and dojo etiquette:

• Kihon — Stances, strikes, blocks and kicks
• Ido — Moving basics
• Kata — Movement routines
• Fighting — Sparring with other students
• Conditioning — Push ups, jumping squats, hand stands, splits and jumps
• Etiquette — Dojo etiquette, opening and closing ceremonies and Japanese terminology

Here's what some of our parents have to say:

"Karate has been an excellent experience for our son. He is getting more confident by the day. We have been happy to see that the discipline, morals and values associated with karate all shine through in Sensei Patrick's class."

"We were amazed that in such a short time our daughter became a little girl who showed a tremendous amount of confidence and her desire to achieve increased significantly."

"Karate with Patrick has developed our daughter's strength both physically and mentally. She has become more confident and self-disciplined in school and other activities."

"Our son's training has provided him a very rich life experience. He has benefited in so many ways - self-esteem, self-discipline, confidence, and physical and emotional strength and endurance. Patrick and the senpais at Power Karate have truly nurtured the heart and soul of a champion, and for that we are very grateful!"
