Martial Arts -
Power. Balance. Patience. 

Martial Arts contributes to increased physical strength, flexibility, balance, control, discipline, and spirituality. Students train with others at their own skill level progressing from basic stances, punches, blocks, and kicks to the study of more advanced Katas (patterns of movement) and defense objectives.

Martial Arts Styles Offered:

Tae Kwon Do For Kids

Our martial arts classes give students a chance to learn some of the basic elements Tae kwon do has to offer. 

The Tae Kwon Do for kids programs help them become more engaged in physical activity, but also helps teach them self-defense skills. Martial arts will also help individuals who participate become more focused and provide a terrific outlet for kids. 

These classes are not meant to promote fighting. Our focus is on instilling values such as discipline, becoming more self-aware and developing an ability to put mind over matter for our youth. 

Each Tae Kwon Do class will be taught by a highly trained, professionally certified martial arts instructor. We want to make your child's development and safety a top priority. Your child will learn the abilities of restraint, focus and control. The Tae Kwon Do classes in Dayton may vary by location. Contact your local branch for details.

Karate Classes

Build self-confidence, coordination, and physical fitness while training in traditional Japanese karate. Image yourself training to develop the skills to be a Karate black belt in the traditional 'empty- hand' styles of Okinawa. This program, sponsored by the HSKK, can help you achieve your goals of becoming a Karate Blackbelt.

The HSKK Karate program emphasizes traditional Japanese standards of strong moral character (Tokuiku), mental development (Chiiku), and physical fitness (Taiiku) through the Shotokan karate style. The program is especially designed for ages 7 and up with challenging exercises for all ages. Formerly a program of Rand Jennings' Karate Clubs, this program is continued through the efforts of graduate black belts of former Sensei Rand Jennings through the formation of a black belt club: Hokubei Shotokan Kuro-Obi Kai (a.k.a. North America Shotokan Blackbelt Club). The club's website www.hskk-karate.com provides the latest information of this time tested program.

Courses are based on a quarterly session format comprised of 11 weeks per quarter and pricing is also quarterly.

New students to this program begin with a Beginner's Karate course that prepares students with all the basic knowledge and skills needed to earn their first rank. More advanced courses may follow and students may then participate in Kobudo weapons study with the instructors approval

Sign-up here online or you may also sign-up for classes in person at the sign-in desk at the Coffman YMCA.  This program is currently exclusively held at the Coffman YMCA in Springboro.
