Karate - Children and Teen

Weekly schedule

About this program

Vancouver Seiwa Kai is a branch of Japan Seiwa Kai Goju Ryu Karate. We are one of the oldest Karate schools in Vancouver and have been running classes at Renfrew Community Centre since 1974. We follow the path of traditional Karate. We stress the importance of three basic elements: Mind, Technique and Body, the importance of basic techniques, and paying attention to detail. You will be learning all aspects of traditional Karate: Kihon (basic techniques), Kata (forms) and Kumite (sparring). We also focus on the application of techniques in real life self-defense situations. We teach children the meaning of traditional Karate. Practice always begins and ends with a bow. This teaches children about mutual respect. We stress doing your best, not just focusing on winning. Children will learn the importance of teamwork when practicing with a partner. They will gain confidence, and improve both physically and mentally through Karate in a friendly, supportive and safe environment. Additional fees are required for uniform/equipment and Karate BC Membership.
