An after school program that invests in your child's success
From their very first class, they’ll build focus, discipline, and confidence that will last a lifetime.
after school karate
Rather than leaving your kids in the care of a high-school kid swiping through their phone, let your child’s after school time be productive, fun, and rewarding. Every day, they’ll participate in a full karate class, they’ll have time for games, snack, and homework, and by the time you pick them up they’re ready for dinner, family time, and bed!
don't let your kids get lost in the crowd
Too many after school programs are overcrowded, understaffed, and underserve families and kids like yours. Our program is designed to give you the best of both worlds – the same world-class martial arts training you’ll find in our evening classes with a coach who’s committed to their success and the freedom to finish up your workday guilt-free, knowing your kids are in a positive, active environment.

Here’s what a typical day looks like at Movement After School – we’ll pick your kids up from Whitlow, Vickery Creek, or Kelly Mill in our dedicated vehicles and bring them right back to our facility. They’ll have time to change into their uniform, eat a quick snack, and jump right into games and class. They’re always up and moving with real purpose to their day, so you can feel great about the time they spend with us!

questions
Probably! Movement students come from all different backgrounds – some use karate as a way to cross-train for other sports, while others use martial arts training as a way to get off devices and start being physically active. Amazing things happen when kids start training in martial arts – they become more disciplined, more focused, and better athletes all around as well!
Martial arts build an amazing foundation of athleticism for any child. Training this way teaches them balance, coordination, speed, agility, and builds their strength. These fundamental skills make them better athletes no matter what sports they pursue later on. Plus, a core principle of our programs is the character we instill – our classes are a ton of fun while also teaching kids respect, confidence, and discipline and giving them the tools to defend and stand up for themselves.
The beautiful thing about martial arts is that every student moves at their own speed. Our curriculum is designed to give kids the perfect balance between challenge and reward. They’re constantly working to learn and perfect new techniques in the short term, earn new belts in the medium term, and working towards their long-term goal of Black Belt.
Typically, the process of earning a Black Belt takes 4-5 years, but can be a little longer or shorter depending on how consistently students attend class and how quickly they pick up on the curriculum.
The most important thing we teach kids is that they’ll never simply be given anything here at Movement – just like in life, they’ll have to work hard to earn the things they want to achieve. We believe that lesson carries over into every aspect of their lives.
