This is NOT a regular karate class held after school.......
It is a Positive Behavior enhancement program emphasizing respect and discipline.
The most important lesson in martial arts is RESPECT. Respect comes in all forms: respect for yourself, family, home, teachers, siblings, friends, and your environment.
You will see positive behavior changes in all participants. We provide all teaching materials, homework handouts, support materials, and awards. We want to see your child succeed and thrive both at home and at school. And it’s for a good cause!! 100% of the proceeds from this program will go directly to the Northwood PTA as part of how Mercer Island Martial Arts can give back to our community.
*Please send permission slip with your child on the first day of class.

Questions?
Chinese Language and Culture (NEW!)
|
Miss Li's Chinese Language and Culture Class is not just traditional language teaching, but also involved a lot of culture immersion activities. In each class, we will
1) learn and practice how to speak the common daily sentences in Chinese;
2) introduce the Chinese characters and sentences, learn to read, write, and speak , and practice through games, story-telling, or calligraphy;
3) introduce the Chinese traditional culture and events (like why we have red packet and dragon dance in Chinese New Year, why we eat Zongzi in Dragon Boat Festival, etc). Students will learn through fun activities like paper cutting, folk songs/poems appreciation, etc.
