Students 8 years old and red belt or higher can add Kobudo (weapons training) to their karate training. This will be based on Sensei’s evaluation of their karate discipline to determine acceptance into this program. You can then take a free month to try it in your white gi with a dojo bo. Registration is $50.00 Youth and $60.00 Adult and includes Bo (first weapon), Gi and your second months training. Monthly fees are then $40.00 for four classes per month. Family discounts will apply.

Kobudo runs Wednesdays 7:30-8:45pm. **NO CLASSES Nov 13**
