Young Champions Combat Karate began in 1987 and has spread throughout the country. We are the largest children’s self defense program in the United States.
Our Philosophy is simple…If it works for you, use it! We have incorporated techniques from all styles of Martial Arts into our system, so you can choose what works best for you. We believe everyone is different and what works for one person, may not work for another. Young Champions does not take the attitude that one style is better than another. “We should keep our cups half full”, so we may continually learn and grow. Young Champions has also implemented safety awareness and stranger danger techniques, as well as promoting respect and good citizenship. Our mission is to combine solid Martial Arts training with good mental and physical health to all who wish to participate.
November 15 & 16, Kathy Kuenstler will teach her National Championship award winning double Nunchuku form at our first Young Champions Workshop of the 2008-2009 season. Remember, everyone needs at least four workshops to advance to Black Belt, and no workshop will be more fun or exciting. Cost of the workshop is $35 for one day and $50 for both, and includes 2 free sets of Safety Nunchukus. Watch for flyers in your class for details.
The Young Champions Ohio State Championship Tournament is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, December 13 at Ground Level Martial Arts, 620 Shiloh Springs Rd., Dayton, Ohio.
