The youth
program offers not only an effective self defense program, but
a means for character development and discipline. Children learn to
concentrate and focus their energy constructively, which
results in better school work and grades. In addition a strong
emphasis is placed on the development of self-esteem and
self-worth. We
believe that if a child's self esteem is strong he or she is
more likely to become a happy, secure, and productive adult.
The adult, for
ages 13 years, and up, program's
progressive style of martial arts training will provide a
comprehensive course in Shudokan Karate-Do. Adults notice vast
improvement in their coordination, strength, flexibility and
stretch. Also
Karate training can aid in weight reduction and helps relieve
stress and tension. Enjoy the new
confidence that comes from knowing you have the ability to
protect yourself and your family should the need arise. You will find new
friendships and camaraderie unique to this form of Martial
Arts.
Combat
Hapkido
Combat Hapkido is an exciting Korean
style of Martial Art and Self Defense system that is new toWashington and the Pacific
Northwest.It is referred to as
the "Science of Self Defense" because it teaches self defense
without the traditional forms while still emphasizing the
mutual respect between Instructors and students and among
students.Combat
Hapkido is practical and easily learned because there are no
high kicks or acrobatic throws.It involves techniques
which teach the use of many natural body weapons and use of
pressure points and joint locks to neutralize attacks.Because it is
considered more of an intellectual art it is not taught to
young children under 13 years old.Combat Hapkido offers
adults a great alternative to traditional Martial Arts without
the high level of physical discipline that is found in the
traditional Martial Arts form.Combat Hapkido is
always taught with the highest level of safety emphasized
during all phases of training. The essence of Combat
Hapkido is pure Self-Defense. For more information regarding Combat Hapkido , see

Self-Defense and
Awareness
Our South Sound Karate's Self-Defense and Awareness classes are designed to introduce youth and adults to a variety of strategies and techniques to help protect you, your family and friends from threatening or potentially dangerous situations. Classes are designed to help identify when risks are present and to evaluate methods for dealing with the threat. Classes focus on awareness, avoidance, attitude and, when necessary, attack specifically targeting vulnerable areas of the body as well as blocking, choking, grabbing and other self-defense techniques.
Child Safety and
Protection
This is part of
our Little Dragons program and is the step before the Youth
Program. It allows the students to transition to a more
structured martial arts classroom without losing the fun they
are use to experiencing in their physical play activities.

threatening environment. Class is offered for children ages 5
