Martial Arts for Kids

Your child will learn basic martial arts fundamentals from Sempai Shelly Blanco of Ohio Martial Arts during this 45-minute session at the library. The class covers a range of kicks, punches, and practical self-defense moves designed to build physical skills while keeping things fun and energetic. Beyond the physical techniques, this workshop also focuses on important life lessons like standing up to bullying and developing self-confidence. Kids ages 6 to 10 are welcome to participate. Come dressed in comfortable, moveable clothing so your child can fully engage in the activities. This is a great way for young people to explore martial arts in a structured, supportive environment at the library.
