MISSION STATEMENT
Our environment is family friendly and provides fun
and fitness for everyone. Our martial arts classes are
designed to not only teach traditional karate but
self-defense as well. Life lessons are incorporated into
each and every class. You will not find a better
environment in the Grove City Ohio area for learning.
We provide training that encourages personal growth and
development for each individual student at his or her
own pace, emphasizing both physical and mental
conditioning.
We uphold standards of excellence that inspire students
to see beyond their current potential and reach new
levels of personal success by setting goals and
achieving them, building character, and improving
confidence and self-esteem.
We instill traditional martial arts values of respect,
discipline, honor, loyalty, family, and courage,
building leadership skills and social accountability.
We provide an environment that supports each student on
their martial arts journey toward discovering and
claiming their own personal power from within and
teaching the discipline and self-control to take
responsibility for that power.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
YOUTH / ADULT
Ages: 8 and UP
At Warrior Spirit Karate, in order to be the best, you have to be trained by the best. Our teaching goal is to help you be the best you can possibly be. That is why our Youth and Adult Martial Arts program uses the tenets of traditional karate to help instill positive personal growth, taking your goals into account, and to help you become mentally and physically healthier. We are Grove City’s best program for building your overall fitness, learning practical self-defense, and reducing your stress and anxiety.
LITTLE NINJA
Ages: 5 to 7
The BEST Comprehensive Life Skill Program
This program is a wonderful opportunity for children ages 5-7. Enhancing your child's development in a fun and motivating environment. It focuses on improving children's basic motor and listening skills. Your child will learn how to work with others and follow directions from their instructors through positive social interaction. In addition to developing physical fitness, self-defense and safety skills, our karate program also helps your child build confidence, focus and respect for oneself and others. Studies have shown that children who study karate often show significant improvement in concentration and self-discipline, both in school and at home. More than any other sport for children, karate and its inherent values counteract the win at all cost mentality so common in sports today. It is also one of the few sports in which there are no benchwarmers: every child can fully participate at their own pace. This makes it particularly helpful for children who struggle with attention and behavior disorders. Come join us for fun and fitness!
