Experience

SKILLZ-format curriculum was designed around child-development stages so kids get drills matched to attention span and motor skills, with a karate technical core and a multi-style crossover layer. Younger kids work on focus and basic stance; older kids progress through forms, partner work and rank testing on a clean belt path.
