Experience
Family-friendly karate school where parents and kids can train together is a common request that few schools accommodate well. Tiny Toros preschool entry (age 3) is one of the youngest available in the New Haven metro. Younger kids work on focus, listening and basic stance through games; older kids progress through forms, partner work and rank testing with self-defense applications threaded into every class.
