Questions And Answers About Karate Classes
As promised, here are some of those answers to the most common parent questions…
How Young Can Kidz Do Karate?
Karate classes in Knoxville are normally run at most Karate schools like the rest of the country. The times are set at around one hour and even longer for teens and adults. This is not always the best option, especially for younger children.
At Master Booe’s Karate Kidz, classes are specifically designed for children and there is no split focus with time and resources devoted to adults. The classes are 45 minutes and follow studies done on human attention spans and learning cycles.
If you want to learn more, see the linked question above.
What Do Karate Kidz Classes Cost?
Karate class prices in Knoxville vary greatly from school to school. Most all Karate studios charge by the month for either a set number of classes or unlimited visits per week. There are also contracts or agreements binding you and more importantly your children to paying for long amounts of time.
At my Karate dojo, children are never held to contracts, you can choose how often and when they come, and the prices better then the national average.
For one time per week, martial arts classes at Master Booe’s Karate Kidz is $49 per month. You can discontinue at any time. I am certain you will be happy with the classes and will want to continue. I see no need in holding anyone to contracts. The responsibility is on me to deliver the best service.
You can also come twice per week if you would like, but to learn more about how often kidz should attend classes and what Karate prices are, visit the link above.
What Will Kids Learn In Karate Classes?
Karate classes in Knoxville usually are meant for teens and adults and simply augmented to suit children of younger ages. There are even martial arts schools in the area that teach children to dislocate joints and perform strangle holds.
At my studio we teach Karate as self defense and not fighting. We use the ‘gentle art’ of Judo for grappling that doesn’t allow children to do limb breaking or choke holds. I teach striking through Karate, Taekwondo, and boxing to keep threats away and to get away.
A child’s moral compass should not be relied upon not to use inappropriate techniques taught to them. They should be taught how to stop bullies, get away from unwanted attention of strange adults, and how to deal with unfamiliar animals.
This takes a dedicated child focus in the Karate classes and a school environment focused on their needs alone. simply augmenting an adult program leads to major problems. To learn more about how a child centered, virtue based curriculum can make all the difference, follow the link above.
Is Master Booe’s Karate Kidz Really A Kidz Only School?
There are no adult classes at my Karate school, only kids classes are on the schedule. I do family classes at special times where teen siblings can train and others where parents can train with their kidz. Yet, all classes are geared toward children.

Who Will Be The Instructor Of My Child’s Class?
I am the only instructor of my classes. I have over 30 years of experience teaching children. I do not hire teens or college students to teach your child.

How Many Karate Classes Per Week Do Karate Kidz Take?
Many Karate schools push for more and more class attendances, the longer you are with them. This ensures that more money comes in due to gear sales, special uniform sales, workshops, seminars, and the list goes on. This is not done with your child in mind, but the bottom line.
At my Karate Kidz dojo, classes are there to serve your family. I make the classes fun and exciting, the children see improvement, and the family atmosphere brings everyone back.
There is no need to require more and more attendance to get you ‘plugged into the school culture’. You will want to connect on your own.

Are Parents Required To Buy Any Special Gear Or Clothing?
There is a free uniform waiting for your little Karate Kid when you sign up for your first term. I bring all gear and training equipment to each class, so you can borrow anything needed.
You are more than welcome to buy things like t-shirts, gloves, etc. so your child doesn’t have to share, but it is never required.
