St. Patrick School After School Karate Program

      At St. Patrick School, we believe that athletic participation serves as an important part of a child's education.  There is a wealth of wisdom to be learned that is unique to the athletic arena or playing field.  That's why we encourage all students to participate in athletic activities when and where possible.

      GTA Karate will provide one instructor (two, if needed) two days a week to teach your child (ren) (ages 3 and up) all material from their 10-belt martial arts system. Students will have the opportunity to advance through the GTA belt system by learning all required rank material including techniques, katas, and self-defense. Also, all other aspects of martial arts (respect, discipline, dedication, integrity, academic achievement, etc.) will be enforced on a daily basis. Students learn at their own pace, while participating in a complete martial arts program in the convenience of an after-school program environment.

      The total fee for the 10-week, 20 sessions program is $137.50. The first payment of $68.75 is due at the first class, September 19 and the second and final payment is due October 17. Make your checks payable to GTA Karate. For this fee, your child will also have access to the main studio located next to the Main Moon in case your child misses classes at the regular program, tournament practice (not required), or if you choose to have them participate in weapons or sparring training (not required). This fee also includes a uniform, testing fees (for next belt level), and the ability to advance to the next belt level at no extra charge. The uniform includes the pants, top, and belt.

      This program will be held Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 during the months of September and October in the Parish Center beginning Wednesday, September 19. During the first two weeks of November the classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday. Note, the last week of November is Thanksgiving week and school is in session only Monday and Tuesday. Therefore, the last week of Karate will be Monday, November 19 and Tuesday, November 20. Remember, if a student misses a class, there is the opportunity to make it up at the studio.
