JUNIOR KARATE CLASS:

LEARN "AMERICAN TANG SOO DO" STYLE OF KARATE
This style of martial arts is a very balanced style, consisting of equal hands and feet, equal offense and defense.
It Builds confidence & self esteem, Improves focus and concentration.
Unless you are training to be a professional kickboxer,
Karate is generally more of a time commitment than the sport of kickboxing because you are testing for belts.
It's great for all ages.
Martial Arts also teaches you to believe in yourself, and to work hard to achieve goals, while having fun!
Children are taught the importance of good sportsmanship, and that the Martial Arts is to be used as a means for self-defense only.
The satisfaction and confidence achieved by the process of earning belts, has positive benefits that carry over to other aspects of ones life.
White Karate uniforms are required for beginners, and can be purchased at first class (visit "pricing" for more info)

BELOW: CITY CLASSES TAUGHT BY "ZACHARATOS"

FOR "CITY" CLASSES LISTED BELOW, YOU MUST ENROLL WITH THE CITY OF CALABASAS.
CALL THE CALABASAS TENNIS & SWIM CENTER AT (818) 222-2782 TO ENROLL.
THESE CITY CLASSES ARE OFFERED IN 6 or 8 WEEK SESSIONS.
FOR ALL OTHER CLASSES LISTED AND DESCRIBED ABOVE THIS, YOU SIGN UP DIRECTLY WITH "ZACHARATOS KARATE & KICKBOXING and SOCCER",
AND THOSE CLASSES ARE OFFERED ALL YEAR AROUND, NO SESSIONS.


INTRODUCTORY BEGINNING KARATE & SELF DEFENSE FOR TOTS!
BEGINNING AT AGE 4!

A 6 week introduction to the martial arts. Learn basic kicks and punches and blocks. Builds confidence, and self esteem, and improves focus and concentration. This class is a combination of karate and games to keep young children motivated and challenged.
No uniform or "Zacharatos" t-shirt is required for this class, and no tests or belts.
With instructor approval, students can then advance to our regular karate class, or continue taking additional sessions of this beginning class.
*For age 4 we are introducing a "parent and me" karate class for the next session, where parents can participate with their child while learning basic kicks and blocks.
With the parent in the class assisting their child, we can focus more on learning the skills in addition to playing games.
But, because learning independence at this age is also important, parts of the class will be for the children only.
Because each child is different, and develops at a different rate, if they are able to participate in class without their parent's assistance, it is up to the parent if they wish to take the class with their child. Parent participation can be determined on an individual basis.
If the parents have smaller children they have to look after during class, and cannot participate with their child that is enrolled in this class, participation by the parent won't be required. (we're very flexable!)

For this class, you must sign up with the Calabasas Tennis & Swim center call (818) 222-2782, and classes are offered once a week in 6 week sessions.
(for all other classes, you must enroll directly with" Zacharatos Karate & Kickboxing and Soccer" call (818) 881-8200, and classes are offered all year around)
