Mountain Karate in western NC since 2017. Serving the Hendersonville, NC region
Families Love Mountain Karate
There are a lot of reasons why families love the kids’ martial arts classes at Mountain Karate.
One reason is the traditional atmosphere – friendly and welcoming but focused.
Our Instructors Love to Teach
We have lots of experience teaching kids martial arts classes, and getting great results. We make sure that every child learns good skills, healthy focus, builds confidence and has fun in every class.
We have been teaching kids, teens and adults at Mountain Karate since 2017.
Our Dedicated Instructors
Another reason is the skill of our senior instructors: training in Japan and in the US, with extensive professional experience, and a track record of teaching authentic karate to thousands of children and adults.
Our Black Belt assistant instructors started in our children’s program, and continue to train as well as teach.
Our Unique Approach
Our approach to karate is unique. Although many schools describe their styles with similar names, we invite you to come in and take a look at our karate classes – for children (and teens, adults and families) – and see the fantastic way we teach children martial arts.
Our Martial Arts School
In addition to the practical self-defense we teach, here are some aspects of our martial arts school that really stand out:
Kids have a great time
Mountain Karate’s kid’s classes are fun. The atmosphere is friendly and positive, so the children enjoy themselves as they move, get strong, focus and practice together.
They learn real skills
Our martial arts classes are more than just fun. Each child learns new moves and techniques every step of the way. They develop real self-defense skills, and positive attitudes. As each child progresses in martial arts they learn how self-control and respect for self and others. As they learn coordination, speed and agility, they feel great and are proud of what they can do.
They learn that karate is only for defense.
Kids have fun moving
The kids in the martial arts classes at Mountain Karate are in motion. Rather than standing around or hanging out, the children move – sometimes slow and sometimes fast, sometimes serious and sometimes playful. Technique is mixed with running, jumping and other strength, agility and skill-based activities. So kids get great, whole-body fitness training without it ever getting dull or repetitive, or feeling like they are doing “exercise”.
Kids have fun focusing
Everyone who sees the kids class at Mountain Karate is impressed by the level of focus – even of the youngest children. The kids learn to focus because they like to focus on what they enjoy and want to do well. The instructors at Mountain Karate make each class interesting, and exciting – not too easy and not too difficult, with enough repetition to get good skills, and enough variation to keep it surprising – so every kid’s focus improves naturally.
Kids work together
The more experienced children help the newer kids, so the older ones feel appreciated and the younger ones appreciate the help and attention they get. All the kids learn to practice their techniques together – in unison movement, in controlled contact – all in a positive atmosphere – sometimes collaborative, sometimes competitive, always in a way that all the kids enjoy.
Kids get confidence
As the children learn their martial art they get stronger physically and mentally. They get the confidence that comes from competence. They try hard, succeed and are recognized when they do. As they learn their martial arts skills, they also learn that they can take on a challenge, work hard, and achieve their goals.
Respect
At Mountain Karate we respect each other – from the newest (whether 6 or 60 years old) to the most experienced black belt. We recognize accomplishment and effort.
Beyond Self-defense
We teach real self-defense. It is authentic, it feels great to learn it. Everyone develops a healthy habit of fitness focus, flexibility and skill – so they feel strong and confident.
