We have GREAT Reviews. A collaboration between parent and DC Self Defense Karate Association is where we help your children grow in life.

My son was having problems in school and this ended up becoming a problem at home and socially. My husband and I enrolled our son at the best rated karate school in Washington DC. DC Self Defense Karate Association changed our son’s life. After a few months of karate classes we see unbelievable differences at school, home and with his friends. Our martial arts instructor is a true master with teaching karate and is helping us raise our child with quality character developmental skills.

Since starting at DCSDKA years ago, I’ve learned a wide variety of karate and self-defense techniques and improved my physical fitness. At the school I can pursue a demanding goal in a supportive environment with teachers who encourage me- but also set high expectations. As a result when I succeed I have accomplished something significant Continue Reading

Focus & Concentration

Concentration is like a muscle that needs regular exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts provides kids with strategies that help improve their ability to focus and maintain their attention. School work will require students to be able to concentrate for extended periods of time. Participating in martial arts requires even more concentration. This ability to concentrate and sustain attention is crucially important. As students learn and improve, they will grow life skills such as self-confidence and positive self-esteem.

Enhanced Self Control & Self Discipline

Almost all young children are naturally impulsive. How do you teach a child to deal with this implusive behavior? – Self-discipline. A child who has self-control and self-discipline has a huge advantage in dealing with life’s challenges.

So many problems can be avoided when a person has self-control. Martial arts is the perfect solution to help teach students self-control and self-discipline.

Better School Grades

Martial arts training and educational training share a very important goal: to inspire attitudes and actions that turn students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high test scores are rewarded with good grades. Martial arts develop skills and traits needed to meet diverse challenges, such as studying to earn good grades. Just a few are discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others.
