Martial Arts for Kids

Your child will learn practical martial arts skills from Sempai Shelly Blanco of Ohio Martial Arts during this 45-minute session. The class covers fundamental techniques including kicks, punches, and self-defense moves, all designed to build confidence and teach kids how to handle challenging social situations like bullying. This is a hands-on, active class—kids should wear comfortable clothing they can move and sweat in, and they'll leave with both tired muscles and happy smiles. This program is designed for children ages 6 to 10 and takes place in the library's spacious Meeting Room A&B. It's a great way for kids to develop physical skills, learn valuable safety awareness, and grow their confidence in a structured, supportive environment.
