The
"After School Karate Academy" gives your child the opportunity
to utilize their time after school to grow and develop in an environment that
promotes constructive learning and interaction with others. The curriculum
includes supervised homework and study time, martial arts training and character
building.
After School
Program :
We feel that Karate/Kung Fu training is more than just the physical aspects. We also focus on building character through Biblical examples. Integrity, Respect, and Focus are three of the main areas that we will relate to real life examples.
Integrity: Doing what's right at all times...especially when no one is looking or when he/she could get away with it.
Respect: This is what Karate/Kung Fu is all about. To regard with honor. This includes parents, teachers, those in authority, and each other.
Focus: To concentrate your energy/attention toward a particular point or purpose.
Daily Karate/Kung Fu Training:
At the "After
School Karate Academy" we teach
Self Defense, a unique blend of Shaolin Kung Fu, Kempo Karate and key elements
of several other styles like Gracie Brazilian Jujitsu and Kali sticks.
Chris Redmond, the head instructor at the "After
School Karate Academy" has trained
in the Martial Arts since 1980. Additionally, he holds a Business Degree from UNC-Cameron School
of Business and he currently teaches 6th thru 8th grade students (Youth Group-
Boys) at College Acres Baptist Church on Eastwood Rd.
Carol Redmond, holds a Communication Degree from UNC-Wilmington. She is currently the Pre-School Connection Leader at College Acres Baptist Church and teaches the 4 year old class. Carol has been trained by the Cape Fear Literacy Council in Tutoring and she has completed "Leadership Wilmington". Carol will assist the students with completing homework assignments.

others, develops integrity, increases focus, builds character and improves
social skills. Therefore, we adhere closely to the following set of guidelines.
We make no apologies for our high standards. With over 40 years of combined
experience, we have found that teaching and reinforcing these skills to children
in grades K through 8th helps prevent difficulties in the teen years and later
in adult life.

Behavior
Management :
Discipline at the After School

manner:
For
minor misbehavior, the student will sit in time-out for a certain amount of
time. This allows the student to think about his/her behavior while missing
out on class participation. The next level of punishment involves physical
encouragement (doing jumping jacks for a set amount of time, depending
on the behavior observed).
Students who continue to disobey school rules after the above mentioned punishments
have been issued, will be required to sit in time-out until picked up by their
parents. We reserve the right to discharge any student that creates a constant
class disturbance that hinders the learning of other students.
Proverbs
22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it.
