Youth Classes at Open Hand Self Defense (OHSD)

Youth Self Defense

At our Youth classes, students learn honor and respect for themselves and for others. This is taught above and beyond everything else and will carry over to every aspect of the child’s life. We are a non-sparring school, meaning that none of the students fight against their peers. Our emphasis is teaching situational awareness and self-defense.

Little Panda Program

The Little Panda Program is for children ages 3-6 years old. Students are taught the basics of kicks, blocks, tumbling, balance, and focus. It is here that they begin to learn the most important factors: honor and respect for themselves and others.

Youth ShuHaRi Doshi Kai Karate (ages 6 – 14 years)

Youth Chun So Nyun Hapkido (ages 6 – 12 years)

In these classes, students learn more advanced techniques of kicks, blocks, and other defense and evasive moves. We stress focus and situational awareness, teaching them how to get away from an attacker with as little injury to themselves as possible. As the students test for higher belt rankings, coordination, balance, and memory skills are enhanced with learning forms.

Class Schedule:

Monday, Wednesday & Friday: 4:30-5:30pm
Thursday: 6-7pm
Saturday: 10-11am
