Product Description

This exciting program contains 3 levels of instruction and exercise for kids that focus on self-improvement and fitness rather than competition. In Level 1, Karate Instructor Ted Nordblum takes the kids through a hip and upbeat work-out teaching basic karate stretches and techniques. Karate Instructor Brandon Gaines, a third-degree black belt, hosts Level 2, which builds on the basics by showing kids the application of Karate techniques and adding some new moves that are a little more difficult. Level 3 features Sixth degree black belt and International Karate Champion Kenn Firestone, leading three proficient young black belt students in advanced karate techniques. Health, fitness and positive values are all a part of this fun and fast-paced program that will motivate and energize kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video for kids who want to try karate!, December 17, 2006

By	Amy Cole "Loved it!" (Vermont) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 9 year-old son just loves this video. The instruction is great. Quality of the video is very good. There are three levels which include stretches, instruction and practice. Each session includes one adult instructor with four children as participants. My son now uses this video once every two days announcing "I'm going to do my exercises!" as he heads upstairs. He's learned an amazing amount in a short period of time and now knows enough about karate to go looking for a class.

3.0 out of 5 stars Karate for Kids?, April 20, 2007

By	J. Graham - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have mixed feelings about this video. I should start by saying that the content is really very good. Even so, the video is dated and more than a little cornball at times (the music video elements). The soundtrack is pedantic. Overall, it drives me crazy. However, my boys (3 and 8 years old) LOVE IT! My oldest son has been asking to study martial arts for a while now. We bought the video as a Christmas present to see if he would focus and take it seriously before we spent money on lessons.

The video instruction is progressive but easy to follow. It is not content rich but is content sound. The kids are getting great exercise. My 3 year old is hysterical to watch. Not the highest quality video all around but, for us, it was worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Karate for Kids, June 5, 2007

By	D. Engles (castaic, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is a good tape for kids. My daughter(a yellow belt) likes it because it has 3 levels of basic karate. Level 1 she finds easy. Level 2 is a little more challenging. She likes level 3; She says it has more self defense moves than what is offered in her classes.
