Mountain Karate is a kid friendly school. We care about your kids! No one is ever made to feel bad about themselves, instead we build each child up while instilling discipline, respect, and goal setting in a welcoming environment. They will train hard, and be encouraged to be the best they can be. Come see the difference Mountain Karate can make in your child's life. Mountain Karate is staffed by Master ranked instructors (4th Dan and up) We offer on site belt advancement testing Note to transferring students: If you have achieved a color belt in another style, we will honor your achievement.

Special Needs Karate We have developed a new program that will enable students with special needs to participate in karate. These classes will help the students become fit and confident, and will concentrate on focus, balance, discipline, coordination, fitness and fun! We will be offering classes for students who have an Intellectual or Developmental Disability. These classes will afford the student a safe and friendly place to learn the art, and to earn belt advancement. All classes are taught by certified black belt marital artists. |
| Congratulations to our Newest Black Belts |
| 10 Questions to ask when choosing a Martial Arts School 1. Q. How many Black Belt Instructors are on staff? How many of them are Master ranked? Is there always a black belt instructor on the floor for every class? (not a trainee) A. Mountain Karate Academy has 11 adult Black Belt Instructors, three of whom are Master ranked. Cumulatively, this adds up to over 120 years experience! We also have teen black belt assistants on the floor to assist the children with their skills. Never does a color belt lead a class alone! 2. Q. Are all instructors certified with a reputable association and held accountable? Is the school part of a larger association? A. We belong to the Eastern U.S.A. International Martial Arts Association, which has membership in 67 countries worldwide. All Instructors must be certified through this association. The Grandmaster observes and approves all Black Belt tests. www.eusaimaa.com 3. Q. Is self-defense, stranger danger, and bullying education a regular part of the curriculum? A. Yes, Yes, and Yes. Self defense and street awareness are taught in our classes. We have also demonstrated and taught stranger danger/bullying education in many area schools, and will bring our seminar to outside groups when requested! We have a complete Stranger Danger / Bullying curriculum. 4. Q. How long has the school been in business? A proven track record is important! A. Mountain Karate was formed in 1990. The Lehighton Charter opened in 2007. 5. Q. Is the school community minded? Is it established and well referenced in the community? Is the student given opportunities for community service? A. We have participated and headed up many fundraisers and our students are encouraged to participate. 6. Q. Are contracts required or optional? Is tuition reasonable, but not "cheap"? A. We never require contracts, but they are available for a reduction in tuition. 7. Q. Is the training area roomy and is there adequate space for parents to view the class? Are parents encouraged to observe? A. Our training area is a full 2000 sq. ft. gymnasium with bleacher seating. 8. Q. Is the school a full-time venture, and can someone usually be reached? A. Mountain Karate is a full-time school. Call us or email us anytime! 9. Q. Does the school teach traditional martial arts, or are they more concerned with fighting? Is fitness and good technique stressed? Are the belt advancements "given away" or are they earned? Is testing on-site? A. We teach traditional Korean Martial Arts. Skill is stressed and belt testing is scheduled only when the student is ready. All testing is done on-site. 10. Q. Is the school kid-friendly? Does the school stress making the child a better person...disciplined, respectful, fit, and focused....rather than pushing fighting and competing? A. Come in and talk to some of our parents! We stress character building. We teach the children how to avoid a confrontation. We also teach them how to protect themselves if a confrontation is inevitable. |
