ADAPTIVE KARATE LESSONS
The martial arts offer people with special needs a variety of benefits! Our adaptive karate program differentiates karate instruction for children and adults with a range of physical, cognitive, and special learning needs. We offer individualized custom-tailored karate to students who have:
ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s, Autism, Hearing/Visual challenges, Blindness, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and other physical and cognitive challenges.
Registered with the Adaptive Martial Arts Association, our education expert, Dr. Mary Christianakis, formulates individual adaptive karate instructional plans for students with different abilities. Over the years, we have developed resources for effective methods of differentiating instruction & assessment to meet the unique needs of our adaptive karate students. Our adaptive karate program builds positively on the strengths that each person brings, while minimizing limitations in the least restrictive learning environment. We aim to realize every student’s highest potential in the martial arts!
American Kenpo Karate instructors have years of martial arts experience working with students with a variety of special needs, both on and off the mat.
We welcome you to try our adaptive karate program for fitness, self-defense, and confidence. It will be yours for life!
Adaptive Karate Lessons are arranged at a mutually agreed upon day/time based on availability.
