Karate for Adults
Thousand Waves teaches martial arts as a holistic fitness program to help you build strength, stamina, and spirit. Immediate benefits include increased flexibility, balance, and muscle tone. Workouts are vigorous and challenging for adults of all ages, physical abilities, and fitness levels.
Karate for Kids
A positive classroom environment is essential to a child’s ability to learn. We present karate to children as a body, mind, and spirit practice to improve their fitness, concentration, and coordination. Kids also learn age-appropriate skills for dealing with bullying and other forms of violence.
Self-Defense
Empowerment self-defense is rooted in mental, verbal, and physical skills that help keep us safer from violence in all its forms. From short workshops to in-depth courses, we offer programs for individuals and groups centered on the realities of violence that are likely to impact us the most.
