Our Programs & Classes

Students and enthusiasts of Karate have many reasons for their interest in this and other martial art styles. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.

Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, Ken Yu Kan Karate School offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule as well.

Adult Class, beginner through advanced Adult classes are offered for complete beginners to Karate, male and female, regardless of age, through advanced martial artists hoping to further their studies. Beginners are given special, individual attention, and are slowly integrated into the classroom setting. Students learn Kihon (fundamentals), Kata (forms), Kumite (sparring), and Bunkai (practical application). All new students are made to feel very welcome by the staff and current students. Please come visit our adult class, held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 7:00PM to 8:00PM. An instructor will be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.

Children's Class, beginners through advanced Children are the future of our Dojo! They are treated very specially from their first day at Ken Yu Kan. Students, age 6 and up, are taught in a traditional, structured setting, without forgetting that Karate can be very fun! Students learn effective self-defense skills through diligent training. More importantly, students routinely learn life skills. Honesty, integrity, courtesy, respect, and work ethic, are examples of the character-building exercises shared with students nightly.
