Karate Program Overview

Life Values Through Martial Arts

For years the students at Dan Anderson Karate School have learned strength, dedication, and manners. This coming year we are expanding our curriculum to include Life Values Through Martial Arts Training that will not only improve the body but also the mind. Here are some of the topics students will learn in the upcoming months with our comprehensive program for personal growth and character development: chraractor development, leadership, concentration, integrity, etc.

This school's karate program is based on several fundamental principles:

1. Anyone can learn and benefit from karate training.
2. Each individual has his/her own potential and speed of learning.
3. Although karate is originally an oriental martial art, I am an American teaching Americans.
4. We feel that people are inherently good.

Our program reaches beyond the ordinary boundaries of just self defense instruction and results in an overall betterment of the student, both in and outside of the school.

Children's Program
At Dan Anderson Karate School, our children's program is second to none. Although the ability to defend oneself is very important, there are other aspects of development which we take pride in nurturing:

• Physically weak children become stronger.
• Respect
• Manners
• Concentration and focus - Children with short attention spans learn to focus their attention.
• Hand/eye coordination - Uncoordinated children become agile.
• Social skills - Introverted children become more extroverted.
• Self control - Children who lose their tempers or cry easily learn personal self discipline and to control their emotions better.

All the above results in Self Respect and Self Confidence for your child.

By concentrating on the above aspects we have earned the respect and reputation of having the strongest children's program in the area. We have a strong commitment to the development of today's youth. Our program helps our students perform well in other sports and the strengthened ability to focus and concentrate help them at school as well.

Our children's program is set up to strengthen your child mentally, physically, and emotionally. As each child is different, our stress with each child is individualized.

TEACHING CHILDREN FOR OVER 32 YEARS!

Youth and Adult Programs
The Youth and Adult programs have been a success in our school due to our uniquely individualized approach. We take a student from where he or she is right now and build them up from that point. Any student, no matter who, is a potential Black Belt! Any student can make it. The training offers exercise, stretching and conditioning as well as Self Defense. Each student moves at his/her own pace in a friendly environment.
