Talamantez KarateSince 1963 · San Antonio

Ages 4 to 7

Karate for ages 4 to 7.

A 45 minute class built for little ones: lots of movement, short drills and a lot of encouragement. They learn to listen, stand still when it counts and try again when it is hard.

What they learn

In every class

Families ask

Good questions

My child is shy.

Most of our youngest students are, at first. Instructors get down to their level and never make a child feel bad for a wrong answer.

Is it safe for a four year old?

Yes. Drills are on padded mats, partner work is with pads, and instructors watch every child.

Will they sit still for it?

Classes keep them moving. Short drills, games with a purpose, and lots of chances to shine.

We have had a wonderful experience as members here! It is a great family run studio where you will get a lot of individualized attention. My son is thriving here and learning a lot of important life skills. They are big on respect. My son has learned to greet adults when he walks in a room, look people in the eye when they are speaking to him, and hold the door for ladies. And he is only 5! Give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

My daughter is not one to be shy but this school really has given her confidence. She loves to participate ( a little too much) and is never made to feel bad if she does not give the right answer. All the instructors are always positive and always encouraging the children to do their best.

My son has become more responsible for his actions. His discipline is impressive for a kind that is only 6 years old. He will be entering first grade next year and his focus will help him exceed expectations. I would recommend the program to any parent that wants their child to be successful, confident and most importantly a leader.
