We work hard to have a good mix of dynamic martial arts training and sparring, practical self-defense drills, and challenging weapons routines.
Real Life Skills and Positive Encouragement
It’s way more than the physical stuff. In Westminster Mile High Karate classes, we talk about Life Skills – a LOT. You’ll hear words like Honesty, Respect, Discipline, Belief & Self-Esteem – in every class. We want you to walk away from every class feeling more empowered both physically AND mentally.
And who doesn’t need encouragement? In the old days, you’d practice a drill over and over until your bones ached and you wanted to collapse, just to have the instructor come by and tell you, “You’re doing it wrong.” That was then, and those days are over. Instead, we believe in the concept of calling a student out because they’re doing it RIGHT. When the whole class turns to look at little Bobby who just got praised out loud for executing a perfect block, how do you think that makes him feel? That’s right – he feels AWESOME! And soon, the other students are striving to get ‘called out’ too. Positive encouragement really works!
