Martial Arts for Kids

Your child can explore martial arts fundamentals with Sempai Shelly Blanco from Ohio Martial Arts during this 45-minute session. Kids will learn a variety of kicks, punches, and self-defense techniques while building important life skills like confidence and strategies for handling bullying situations. The class is designed for children ages 6 to 10 and promises to be both physically active and fun—expect some sweating and plenty of smiles. Come dressed in comfortable clothing that allows for movement. This wellness activity takes place in a spacious meeting room at the library, making it an accessible option for families in the area. It's a great opportunity for kids to try martial arts in a structured, supportive environment while gaining practical skills they can use both on and off the mat.
