Children have fun while learning important lessons for life. In a caring environment, with positive role models to enhance personal growth, children improve at an individual pace and learn respect for themselves and others.
Do you believe that karate is just about kicks and punches or winning trophies for display? We don't. That's not the atmosphere at the Go No Sen Karate Dojo. Our objective is to teach the life-affirming art of authentic karate and to instill self-respect. At our school we use our ability as teachers and mentors to influence rather than force students into action. This creates self-discipline. By realizing they have choices and the ability, both physical and mental, to deal with challenging situations, our students gain the confidence to overcome them.
Children often feel scared and helpless when they become victims of neighborhood or school bullies because they don't know how to deal with these aggressors. Go No Sen Karate not only teaches the self-defense skills that our children need in today's world, it also instills the confidence and self-discipline that leads to self-respect. Most people think karate teaches kids how to fight, we give them the skills so they don't have to fight!
