Jewelry and Training

We have a "No Jewelry" policy here at KF USA, which means "if it can come off please take off," but why is that?

Safety: This should be pretty obvious, but when we are grabbing and striking, we do not want to break a necklace, rip out an earring or scratch someone with rings or fitness trackers, etc.

Philosophy: Separate from the Safety issue, we also have a philosophical reason for leaving jewelry at home. Simply put, martial arts are traditionally an austere practice, with a simple uniform and belt that is the same for everyone. It does not matter what kind of house or car or outside lifestyle you may have, as we all start at White belt and work to improve ourselves and our skills within the martial arts. Flashy jewelry can go against this concept, which prefers our only "accessories" to be the sweat we generate with our efforts - and the belt ranks we earn from those efforts.   (Shihan even removes his wedding ring, although we understand many cannot or choose not to.)

But what if I can't take off? We understand some things cannot be removed, including religious items and newly pierced ear studs, etc. We try and work with everyone's situation as we aim for the above, and if safety looks to be compromised from a piece, we may ask you to tape it down or otherwise minimize the risk to you and others during classes.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

Kids Martial Arts Classes - try for free!

Kids Martial Arts Classes - try for free!

Thank you for your interest in Children's Karate / Martial Arts Classes. We have separate classes for different age groups and experience levels, allowing us to have group-appropriate content and activities. We also sometimes use our two different rooms to focus on subgroups within a class. Our students learn to protect themselves, express themselves, and grow as people and as martial artists.

We focus on self-development and fitness through self-defense, but in an age-appropriate, safe and fun manner. -This is why some of our Instructors have been with us for 10, 15 and even 20 or more years, often themselves starting as a Little Ninja!

We always offer a free trial, either in their group or private mini-class if preferred, and we offer a New Student Special to allow for an extended risk-free chance to confirm they want to continue training longer-term with us.

Thank you for contacting us. We will follow up with you as soon as we can to answer any questions you might have and to schedule your free trial class! You can also call or text 609-690-9060 for more info, and can pre-register for your trial class at www.karatefitusa.net/signup

Adult Martial Arts - Try a Free Class!

Adult Martial Arts - Try a Free Class!

We offer Adult classes for all ability and experience levels, sometimes using our two rooms and offering variations to challenge Beginners and Advanced students and properly direct the material.

We focus on self-development and fitness through self-defense, but in a safe, fun and effective manner. Our classes include Karate, Weapons and Small Circle Jujitsu techniques, with both solo, partner and group work.  Training brings mental and physical health benefits, and increases confidence to help improve your life outside of karate as well - even if you hopefully never need to use the many techniques you will learn!

Please come in for a free trial, either a regular group class to see what that is all about, or we can also arrange a private mini-class if preferred. We then have a New Student Special to allow for an extended risk-free period to reconfirm you like our approach and look to continue longer-term.

Thank you for contacting us. We will follow up with you as soon as we can to answer any questions you might have and to schedule your free trial class! You can also call or text 609-690-9060 for more info, and can pre-register for your trial class at www.karatefitusa.net/signup
