Karate for Kids
Karate that Goes beyond Punching and Kicking
For over 15 years, the staff of Zen Martial Arts in Sacramento has been coaching people, of all ages, in the process of learning and practicing the martial arts as a tool for learning and practicing the art of being a more complete, proactive, and empowered human being.
We consider ourselves an integral part of the village that helps parents instill valuable character traits, beliefs, and habits in their children. Habits such as self-discipline, the ability to stay calm under pressure, the appreciation of teachers, parents and other mentors, and the value of proper diet, exercise, and education in a happy and fulfilling life.
We teach a brand of self-defense that transcends our physical art and includes the self-defense skills of kindness, empathy, community, and compassion.
Developing the Whole Child
Out of the Dojo, Into the World
Students are encouraged to become black-belts in the art of life by taking the character lessons learned in the dojo and extending them out into the world by demonstrating acts of kindness and serving their community.
The Art of Mindfulness
The practice of mindfulness is integrated into our regular curriculum. Students learn how the brain functions under stress and develop the tools needed to remain clam under pressure.
Peace Before Punches
Every karate student at our school learns a system of non-violent conflict resolution and persuasion strategies that provides confidence when dealing with bullies without resorting to punching and kicking.
