Specialties
The Karate Institute of Mentor provides a variety of programs for people of all ages. Instruction in the martial arts is primarily instruction in self-defense. With children, we emphasize the skills needed to avoid bullies, threatening strangers, and other unsafe situations. We teach the children the basics of self-defense by developing awareness of their surroundings, recognizing the need to keep strangers outside their boundaries for safety and comfort, and being prepared to combat any attempts at violence if necessary. Our children’s programs develop a child’s body, mind, and spirit in order to give each student a chance for a more successful life.
Our adult programs share many of the same characteristics. In today’s world, the ability to defend oneself is certainly very important to consider. Knowing how to carry yourself and making good choices can be key to avoiding threatening situations.
