About the event
East Coast Karate brings its traditional martial arts program to the Yocum Institute for Arts Education, and this introductory session is the starting point for every new student, ages 6 through adult. It is a single class built to show you exactly how the program works, from the basics on the floor to the way instructors structure learning for different ages and experience levels.
The approach centers on mind, body, and spirit together. Students work on practical self protection skills along with the confidence to use them, while building focus, self discipline, respect, and persistence that carry over into school, work, and daily life. Newcomers of any fitness background are welcome, since the class is meant as an introduction rather than a test.
Come in comfortable exercise clothes, long pants and a t-shirt, and plan to train in bare feet. No uniform is needed for this first class. Families and students will receive guidance on class placement during the session, and those who decide to continue can attend classes for the rest of the month, with a uniform required for ongoing participation.
