Martial Arts for Kids

Your child can discover the fundamentals of martial arts with Sempai Shelly Blanco from Ohio Martial Arts during this energetic session at Sanger Library. Kids will learn various kicks, punches, and practical self-defense techniques while building valuable life skills like conflict avoidance and personal confidence. This class is designed for children ages 6 to 10 and runs for 45 minutes. Come ready to be active—comfortable clothing is a must since participants will work up a sweat. Beyond the physical techniques, this session emphasizes emotional wellness by teaching kids how to handle bullying situations and develop stronger self-assurance. It's a fun way for young martial artists to challenge themselves while gaining skills they can use both on and off the mat.
