Martial Arts for children ages 6 and up
Building Focus, Confidence, Discipline, Leadership,
and Strong Character
The Shinobi Warriors Program at Blue Life Karate & Kickboxing Centers is a specially designed martial arts program for children ages 6 and up. This program goes far beyond simply teaching punches and kicks. It is designed to help children grow mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially while learning the values of discipline, focus, confidence, respect, leadership, and perseverance.
SHINOBI WARRIORS
For over 33 years, Blue Life Karate has helped children throughout the community become stronger, more confident, more focused, and more successful both inside and outside of school.
At Blue Life Karate, we believe martial arts should help build better young people.
The Shinobi Warriors Program is designed to give children structure, direction, motivation, and a positive environment where they can grow through achievement and encouragement.
One of the biggest things that separates the Shinobi Warriors Program from many other martial arts schools is the organization and structure of the classes.
All classes are separated by both age and belt level.
This is extremely important because children learn differently depending on their age, maturity, coordination, confidence level, and experience. A beginner child should not be taught the same way as a more advanced student.
Empower Your Child
By separating classes properly, children are able to learn in an atmosphere where they feel comfortable, motivated, successful, and challenged without feeling overwhelmed.
This allows instructors to focus directly on the needs of each group while helping students progress safely and efficiently.
Another major difference in the Shinobi Warriors Program is the teaching method itself.
The classes are designed to be fun, exciting, engaging, and highly interactive.
Children learn best when they are emotionally engaged and enjoying the process of learning. Because of this, many of the drills, exercises, movement patterns, and techniques are taught through specially designed games, partner drills, reaction exercises, challenges, and interactive training methods.
Even the movement combinations and sequences are specially numbered and organized to help children remember and understand them more easily.
The system is carefully structured so that each level prepares students for the next level they are striving toward.
This creates excitement, motivation, and purpose within the program.
Children begin understanding that growth comes from consistency, focus, patience, and effort.
The Shinobi Warriors Program focuses heavily on:
• Discipline
• Focus
• Respect
• Confidence
• Leadership
• Goal-setting
• Coordination
• Physical fitness
• Positive attitude
• Self-control
• Teamwork
• Perseverance
At Blue Life Karate, students are not rewarded through stripe systems. Instead, children earn specially designed belts that represent their effort, progress, growth, consistency, and personal achievement throughout their martial arts journey.
The belt system teaches children the importance of commitment, patience, and hard work while giving them goals to work toward step by step.
As children continue to grow within the program, something very special begins to happen.
Students are not only taught by instructors, but they also begin learning from older and more advanced students who serve as mentors, leaders, and role models.
Over time, younger students themselves grow into leadership positions where they begin helping and encouraging newer children entering the program.
This creates something much deeper than an ordinary activity.
It creates camaraderie. It creates belonging. It creates family.
Children begin feeling they are part of something positive, encouraging, and meaningful.
The Shinobi Warriors Program is not centered around teaching children to become fighters. While students absolutely learn self-defense, awareness, discipline, and how to protect themselves, the deeper purpose of the program is to redirect a child’s energy into something positive and productive. Many parents today struggle with excessive screen time, low focus, lack of motivation, poor listening skills, and children becoming disconnected physically and socially. Martial arts training gives children a healthier outlet where they become active, engaged, disciplined, motivated, and goal-oriented. Over time, many children naturally begin spending less time glued to screens because they become invested in personal growth, achievement, teamwork, movement, learning, and self-improvement.
Parents often notice major improvements in:
• Listening skills
• Confidence
• School focus
• Respectfulness
• Social interaction
• Responsibility
• Motivation
• Physical activity
• Self-esteem
• Positive behavior
Children who are shy often become more confident.
Children with too much energy often become more focused.
Children who doubt themselves begin realizing they are capable of much more than they believed.
The atmosphere at Blue Life Karate is positive, family-oriented, structured, and encouraging.
Students support one another while learning the value of discipline, consistency, respect, and perseverance.
Shihan/Tuhon Durand Howard has over 52 years of martial arts experience and has dedicated his life to helping children grow through martial arts education.
His teaching philosophy combines traditional martial arts values with modern teaching methods designed to help children succeed in today’s world.
The Shinobi Warriors Program is more than martial arts training.
It is a system designed to help children become stronger, more disciplined, more focused, more confident, and more prepared for life.

People believe that martial arts training is just another extracurricular activity; that is a misconception. There is not any program that is going to give you the benefits that you receive from martial arts training. Many people think martial arts are just about fighting; the truth is that the physical “kicking and punching” are really just the tools that I use to teach the most important and MUCH more valuable lessons about yourself.
