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.

is done on-site.

also teach them how to protect themselves if a confrontation is inevitable.
