Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp

Westminster, CO – May 10th — How would you feel if your child gained rock solid confidence, laser like focus, and a Black Belt attitude this summer?

Sound good so far?

And what if they also learned life skills, developed balance, coordination, and agility — all while meeting new friends.

Would you still be interested?

Most parents are looking to get their child involved in a Summer Camp activity, as soon as school gets out. This is a great way to keep kids active by putting them on a schedule that allows them to have fun and learn, while getting out of the classroom setting.

Why is this so important?

Let’s face it… kids need to be kids.

Local martial arts school owner, Javier Lozano, Jr., is the Master Instructor at The Dojo of Karate & Fitness. He has been teaching in the Martial Arts for over 17 years and working with kids for just as long. Sensei Lozano has a very good understanding of how to work with kids, while getting their best efforts and building their confidence.

The Dojo of Karate will be hosting a Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp starting on June 7th and ending on June 30th.

This Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp will be held as half-day camps running every Monday and Wednesday for 4 weeks, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

When your child enrolls in the Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp, they will learn self-confidence and self-control, learn important child safety skills, gain increased fitness through martial arts training and activities, develop respect and leadership skills, and much, much, more.

Sensei Lozano says “our parents truly enjoy the lessons we teach their kids during every class. We never talk about the same thing, and always discuss topics that parents need their child to hear and re-enforce what’s being taught at home. In addition, many of our students are learning skills, such as leadership characteristics at such a young age that their teachers are noticing significant differences in their academics & socialization.”

The Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp will be serving families in Broomfield, Westminster, Thornton, and Erie, for children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old.

The Dojo of Karate will only have 30 spots for Summer Campers, due to spacing and proper supervision. Plus, this makes the camps more personal, which other Summer Camps can not promise.

There will be three different Summer Camp packages for parents to select from. Packages range from a basic, introductory level Summer Camp, which simply includes evening Martial Arts Classes, to a full package Summer Camp, allowing your child to participate in 2 half-day Summer Camps sessions per week and unlimited Karate training in the evenings.

The Dojo of Karate is conveniently located next to Safeway on 128th Avenue and Zuni Street in the Willow Run Shopping Center. They have been operating their as a locally owned business for nearly two years, and currently have nearly 110 members in their Martial Arts, Self-Defense and Fitness programs.

Thornton Martial Arts School | Harvest Fest Demonstration, Part 3

Here is the last video of our 3 part series of the Thornton Harvest Fest Martial Arts Demonstration – The History of Japanese Karate.

Students at The Dojo of Karate show you how Karate has been modernized and can be very fun and exciting.

It can also teach your child life skills, build their confidence, teach them respect, and much, much, more.

This is also the kids favorite part of the demonstration because they get to do cross kicks. Basically, they can showcase their martial arts skills by doing flying kicks.

What kid doesn’t want to do flying kicks???

Broomfield Martial Arts Demonstation at The Super Kids Expo

Broomfield, CO — April 19th, 2010 — Magazine publisher The Yellow Scene for Boulder County, Broomfield County, and North Metro Denver hosted their 2nd Annual Super Kids Expo on April 17th, 2010.

This was a great opportunity for parents and families to checkout some great Kids Summer Camps for their children.

The Dojo of Karate hadn’t heard of the Super Kids Expo trade show before, therefore, martial arts school owner Javier Lozano, Jr. decided to purchase a booth and put together a Martial Arts Demonstration team to perform for the near 2,000 spectators.

The Dojo of Karate will be hosting their 1st annual Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp starting June 7th, 2010.

These will be half-day camps offered on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00am to 12:00pm, and allow Summer Campers to participate in the Children Beginners Karate program.

In addition to promoting their Martial Arts Kids Summer Camp, The Dojo of Karate put together a team of 18 students, between the ages of 6 to 13 years old to put on a Martial Arts Demonstration.

These students did a wonderful and amazing job performing a sequence of kicks, punches, blocks, and body movement — choreographed to music.

The crowd was extremely supportive and encouraging of the students at The Dojo of Karate, cheering them on the entire time.

Master Instructor Javier Lozano, Jr. said “I was very proud how hard they worked the past 6 weeks, preparing for this demonstration, and coming out with such great confidence. I told them to go out there and have fun when the perform. They obviously had fun.”

At the end of the Martial Arts Demonstration, spectators, parents, and kids were complimenting all of the students.

The kids had a great time, and stuck around right before the rain came down.

Students can’t wait to perform for the next martial arts demonstration.

We’re sure they’ll be prepared…

Until Next Time,

Javier Lozano

Thornton Martial Arts School | Harvest Fest Demonstration, Part 1

The Dojo of Karate was contacted by The City of Thornton in August 2009 about performing at their annual Thornton Harvest Fest on September 12, 2009 to celebrate Multi-Cultural Month and teaching kids about Japan.

The Dojo of Karate is a traditional Japanese Martial Arts school, so it made complete sense for our students to put on a demonstration at the Thornton Harvest Fest.

Nearly 36 students got together over the next 6 weeks to practice and train on Saturday mornings.

Our theme for the Martial Arts Demonstration was “The History of Japanese Karate”.

We took the audience through the beginnings of Karate, and how it was introduced to the people of Okinawa through the Chinese Tang Dynasty.

Than we go through how Martial Arts became main stream in the 60s and 70s due to overseas training, movies, and Martial Arts Super Star sensation, Bruce Lee.

Finally, we take the audience to how Martial Arts has become a household sport or activity, and that many schools, including The Dojo of Karate, teaches students about life skills, confidence, and self-defense.

Below is the 1st part of a 3 part series.

Enjoy, because our kids worked hard and had a blast performing.
