Class Overview
Our martial arts classes are great for beginners to the most advanced students.
Kids from 4 years old all the way up to adults can participate. Martial arts is a great way to exercise both body and mind. At ActivStars Athletics, our instructors provide a whole other level of learning that builds upon the unique abilities of each individual student.
Whether you are learning Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, or SafeShield self-defense, our classes have been optimized over the past 30 years to enable students at all age and abilities to progress. Each class is structured so that students learn important life skills like discipline, integrity, accountability, and respect while they train with fellow students and their master instructor.
Parents can actively volunteer to assist in the various drills and games that establish excitement and fun in every class.
My granddaughter, Morning Star Cortez really enjoys attending Sensei Kraig's class, she has learned so much from him and has come a long way.
ActivStars Athletics want to make learning martial arts so easy and fun for every student and family. That is why we have no contracts. Our sessions usually runs in 3 month windows and families can sign-up any time and even pay class to class. Join our martial arts family today.
