during the winter, or for the novice who just wants to learn a new
sport, this new offering may be for you. The gym at the SeaTac

winter.

Karate
Traditional karate is a
Japanese martial art. It is a lifetime activity that improves all aspects of
physical fitness, promotes cognitive development and emotional stability. Karate
improves self-image and self-control. Karate also teaches the value of
discipline and personal defense strategies. Karate’s foundation is in
self-defense not dueling or military engagement. Through training, students
become more aware of the world around them. This awareness allows the karate
practitioner to assess and avoid dangerous situations before physical
confrontation takes place.
Classes are divided
into two category’s, Beginners and Regular. Both classes are open to
all age groups. Parents that are interested are encouraged to
train with their children in the Beginner session. Adults
wishing to start classes without children can attend the Regular
session.
