A martial arts program is a great way to learn confidence and discipline while having fun. After all, where else can you punch and kick without being reprimanded? When you and your family enroll at Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati in West Chester, OH, you’ll participate in Japanese karate classes that will help you gain strength, make you more active, and teach you focus. Hanshi Minobu Miki, descended from Samurais and an 8th degree black belt who has been teaching karate for 40 years, and Head Sensei Alex Dell will show you the proper way to apply your martial arts techniques, while you hone your coordination.

Facebook reviewer Rachel W. gave five stars when she posted how she was thrilled with the results. 

Rachel W: “They have done an EXCELLENT job educating my younger brother in Karate…” She was also impressed by the commitment of the staff and commented, “…he absolutely loves it, thanks to the passion the sensei and owners bring to the place!”

Karate lessons at Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati are also a great opportunity to have fun as a family. 

Rachel W. also noted that it was, “Wonderful for kids of all ages!” 

Siblings can use each other as sparring partners or learn to work as a martial arts team. Parents can help reinforce what was taught during the classes, so their kids will be well prepared for their next session.

What other benefits can your children from martial arts lessons?

• Self-control and making the right decisions. When you work to reach a certain goal, it takes self-control to commit yourself to achieving that goal. You know that watching Bruce Lee on TV for four hours straight is easier than practicing your kicks and punches, but will you get the same results?
• Memorization and retention. They need to learn and remember how to properly repeat the moves and techniques they learn from their lessons. When you don’t have that defensive move down pat, that can result in a black eye! Not a good look for your first day back at school.
• Respect. Students are taught to respect their instructors, and this can be applied in other appropriate areas, such as at home and school. They know that they should not practice their karate skills on their teachers!
• Personal safety. Karate not only teaches self-defense, but also to avoid a dangerous setting. The student who was paying attention to what mom and dad were saying will know that running into a busy street is definitely not a good thing.
