Children’s Self Defense Workshop
Part I: Parents’ Training: Friday, February 3, 2012, 6:30-8:30pm
Part II: Saturday February 4, 2012; 1:30-3:30pm, Children and Adults
Length: 2 Hours
Fee : $59; pre-registration and parent/guardian attendance required
Open to: All children ages 4-12
In this workshop, children along with their parents will learn how to act aware, calm and confident; students will also learn how to take charge and get help. In addition, children will learn how to set clear and appropriate boundaries, how to stop unwanted touching and teasing and how to protect themselves from name calling and hurtful words.
This workshop will include physical self-defense and will begin with extensive practice in many other skills that can prevent, avoid, leave or de-escalate problems before they become physical. Our goal is to empower young children with the full range of skills they deserve in order to escape from emergency situations as quickly and safely as possible.

Over the past 35 years, the DC Self Defense Karate Association has established itself as an exceptional school in the Washington, DC area. DCSDKA has prided itself on providing high-quality instruction, attracting a large number of students from the DC area. Walk into DCSDKA and you immediately feel the energy and enthusiasm!
Led by Carol Middleton, 7th Degree Black Belt, each student is trained expertly in the martial arts. At our studio, you get more than just physical training, discipline and self-defense. You’ll also find yourself making many new friends and training partners. Business professionals, teachers, students, moms, dads and even entire families all train together in a healthy and positive environment. In fact, many of the parents who train at DCSDKA never intended to study martial arts at all. They came to watch their children. But, after making friends with some of the other parents (including some who were already students), they got caught up in the excitement and soon found themselves out on the floor kicking like everyone else.

Children
By studying martial arts and self-defense, your child will learn not only physical training and discipline, but mental training as well. These are the skills they need to be successful in school and in life. DCSDKA is committed to fostering excellence in education and hard work. We work with parents to develop a plan of action and goal-setting to support each individual child.
All of our children’s classes teach ‘age-appropriate’ self-defense. The programs focus on discipline, respect, confidence, focus and self-control. These basic skills are the foundation of personal safety habits that they can use for the rest of their lives. All of the children’s programs are effective in violence prevention and building self-esteem.
All beginner children start out in classes at their own age levels:
Turtles (ages 4-7)
Ninjas (ages 8-10)
Child Beginner (ages 11-13)
Teens (ages 14-19)
