Gig Harbor Karate Academy

Our Youth Karate curriculum is designed for children ages 6 – 12 years old.  We ask our youth students to take responsibility for their their learning by memorizing the names of their techniques, not just the movements.  Students are also responsible for memorizing which skills they have tested for and which skills need work.

We understand that parents want to help their children succeed and work towards belt testing.  To assist students and parents with their goals we have provided 4 resources on this website:

1. Belt Requirements:  a list of the required skills for belt levels up to Brown 3. Also check out the Fitness Stars page to add a workout component to the belt progression.
2. Videos:  short video clips of the core requirements for colored belt levels.
3. Parent Manual: all the important information about the Academy and our curriculum.
4. Training Gear:  You can purchase any of the uniforms, sparring gear or weapons you need from our retail website.
