For both boys and girls karate is fun sport. During the youthlessons karate is being tought in a playfull way. In a justifiable and non-aggressive way we teach the kids to get alloing with each other and the basics of karate. Training in karate gives kids(and adults) a beter fysical health, more diciplin and more self-confidence.

Concentration, agility and self controle to mention a few. These are a lot of difficult words. But at least you learn in a playful way to move your body properly and that will serve you a lifetime. And in the meanwhile you learn an awesome cool sport!!

At Karate-do El Hatri beginners and advanced train in seperate classes. That way you get all the attention you need or can handel. The trainings groups are the seperated in age catergories, so that all the kids in one class are at about the same level. This way they can train with kids there own age.
