Our Mission

Life Skills Karate is about changing lives. By practicing both the Physical and Mental aspects of the martial arts we learn to ride the waves of life and find opportunities to grow and become wiser and stronger. Ultimately this gives us more freedom!

Our program teaches about Responsibility, Consequences, and Self Discipline. Knowing and understanding these words gives you power because you can think through challenges and find the opportunities. The way these words have been perpetuated in our society is that they’re bad words. Many people believe the following MYTHS:

• Responsibility = I’m just going to be held accountable for more and I’ll get in trouble.

• Consequences = I’m being punished for making a mistake and life isn’t fair.

• Self Discipline = I’m missing out on everything because I’m stuck doing harder work.

The TRUTH is these words can and do mean something very different.

• Responsibility = I’m capable, strong and have reasoning skills.

• Consequences = I’m able to ask questions to gather information and be like a little scientist to see what works in life. We learn how to take what’s hard in life and flip it into opportunity.

• Self Discipline = I can see the bigger picture that’s worth more than what I’m doing right here. I’m willing to sacrifice for that bigger picture and not follow my emotions and truthfully it’s not really a sacrifice it’s an opportunity.

When we practice and understand these concepts we have more FREEDOM.
Karate helps more than just the students on the mats because the information shared is beneficial to the entire family. Whether you’re a parent, spouse, or sibling, all can utilize the information just as much as the students because it applies universally. It’s awesome!

Now if you’re looking for the glitz, glamour, adrenaline and hype that you sometimes see on TV or other places, then this might not be the place for you. But if you’re looking to learn about self discipline, respect, practical self defense, healthy habits and new ideas for handling challenges in life, Life Skills Karate may be a great fit for you and your family.
