Martial Arts as an After-School Activity

By Santa Barbara Dojo ·

A kids class at Santa Barbara Dojo

In 1996, training in the founding family began as an after-school activity for Melodee's sons. That story is on the Our Story page.

Today, kids come to a class at the dojo. The class is the activity. Times are the kids and Ninja classes already on that dojo's schedule.

What the kids classes are

Kids martial arts builds confidence, focus, and respect, with a real belt path. Classes on that path run 45 minutes. Preschool Ninjas are 30 minutes for ages 3–5.

In Goleta, the 30-minute class for ages 3–5 meets three afternoons a week, and older kids have Hapkido. Details are on kids martial arts in Goleta. In Granada Hills, Hapkido for ages 6 and up is 45 minutes, and Ninjas for ages 3–5 and kindergarten are 30 minutes on weekdays and Sunday mornings. That page is kids martial arts in Granada Hills.

Days and clock times are the class list for that dojo, not a separate after-school block. Start with a free lesson for Santa Barbara and Goleta or Granada Hills.
