Kick It! Karate for Individuals with Special Needs

Kick It! is a new karate program that provides an opportunity for individuals in the special needs community to participate in martial arts. Karate can help to develop fitness and self-confidence skills as well as grow a sense of community and lasting friendships. Students learn to build superior relationships build on respect and friendship through martial arts’ philosophy and customs.
