But as a parent, you want the real thing... a martial arts program with wide-ranging benefits for your "karate kid". Richmond Martial Arts in Richmond BC offers your child what we call "the gift of confidence." Not just a game or exercise to burn off excess energy, our kids martial arts program addresses the whole child: body, mind and character.

Kids Karate Students Gain:

• Improved motor skills, endurance and concentration
• Greater self-confidence
• Ability to handle bullies, peer pressure
• Healthier lifestyle
• Positive attitude
• Self-discipline to do what needs to be done
• Respect for parents and authority figures
• Better grades at school!

It's true. Here's how we motivate our students to excel academically. When a child is ready to graduate to the next belt, we give him/her a sheet to be signed by parents stating their child is behaving well at home and by the teacher confirming the child is doing well at school . If the sheet isn't returned to us before the exam date, we may delay the test. The point is for the kids to understand that fitness is fun but family and school are more important.
