| JUDO Judo ('the gentle way') is a martial art characterized by take downs, releases, fall breaking and throws. At this time, Mountain Karate Academy is incorporating judo into the karate classes. Although the art of judo is not required for belt advancement, it does make our students more well rounded as martial artists. There are many throws to learn, as well as fall breaking, releases, and take downs. Instructor Rich Maglionico was the first president of the Langley Air Force Base Judo Club and Judo team. He was awarded his brown belt while stationed at Kunson Air Force Base in Korea, under the instruction of Master Ho. He competed for the team against other bases in Korea and in the United States. Rich will be offering this additional instruction for the benefit of our karate students during the regularly scheduled karate classes. |

| KIDS KARATE (5-14 yr. old) We offer many classes in Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan for ages 5 and up. There are many benefits for children who take karate. Some of them are: Self Confidence: All students at Mountain Karate Academy are treated in a friendly and respectful manner. There is no teasing or ridiculing. Every child is welcome. Our students are taught to teach what they have learned and to help one another. Many new friendships have formed in our classes. Focus: Students at Mountain Karate are expected to be respectful and pay attention to the instructor when he or she speaks. They are taught how to focus on the task at hand. Fitness: Your child will train hard and achieve exceptional physical fitness. Karate is a year round sport, and the physical conditioning will become a way of life for your child, not just an "activity" they participate in for a few months a year. Leadership: As your child progresses through the belts, he or she will be given more responsibility to lead and teach. Upper belts assist new students by helping them feel welcome and learn the techniques. The benefits of this are twofold: it makes and new student feel welcome, and it helps the upper belt to feel self confident. In addition, your child will learn Self defense, which will protect him or her from danger, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect, Discipline, Concentration, Values, and a Positive attitude. Plus, you will see an improvement in grades! GIVE US 6 MONTHS and we GUARANTEE a change in your child because NOTHING COMPARES TO THE MARTIAL ARTS! |
| ADULT KARATE (15 and up) Our adult students are taught a variety of techniques from Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan, Tang Soo Do, Judo, Hapkido, weapons, and Olympic style sparring. The class is open to all ages over 15, and all skill levels. Our adults have a great time learning the martial arts and conditioning their minds and bodies. This class is taught by Master John Fagliarone |
KINDER KARATE (3-5 year olds)
Mountain Karate Academy has developed special programs for young children
and we would like to invite you to attend a free introductory class.
There are distinct advantages for your child when he or she learns the martial
arts. We will teach your child motor skill coordination, with precise movements
that will increase his or her balance and hand-eye coordination. In addition to
learning kicks, blocks, and punches, we also play games that will help them
develop in many ways. Growing children need proper exercise for their muscles
and bones to develop strength and agility. We do stretching, bending, and other
muscle building movements. The Sa bu Nim (instructor) will lead them step by
step.
Just a few skills we will teach your child are:
1. Focus 5. Balance
2. Teamwork 6. Memory
3. Coordination 7. Discipline
4. Fitness 8. Control
