Programs
West Side Jin Sei Ryu offers both a kids karate program and an adult karate program.
Kids Program
In our kids program, your child can participate in age-specific classes:
- Pee Wees (4 – 5yo)
- Juniors (6 – 8yo)
- Youth (9 – 14yo)
Each class focuses on different aspects of development that will help your child in other areas of life. In addition to strength, stamina, balance, and speed, we build confidence, discipline, and self respect.
With the end of summer approaching and the school year around the corner, after school activities being more important than ever we must continue to find ways to keep our children active, healthy, and engaged. West Side Jin Sei Ryu is now offering a comprehensive online karate program that will keep your child focused and fit in a fun and safe way. We are also holding a number of classes at our two Manhattan locations as well as two Brooklyn locations. We will also continue our park training events on the weekends in Central Park and Prospect Park, weather permitting. Please see our Class Schedule for more information, or contact Shuseki Shihan Mel Ramsey at shihanmr14@gmail.com with any additional questions you may have.
