Outdoor Youth Karate
Last week I met Sensei Joane Orbon. What an example of a woman! Poised, beautiful, and fierce. She’s a 12-time USA National Karate Champion, former Team USA member, and current Philippine Olympic Team Member. This summer she was supposed to be competing at the 2020 Olympics; coronavirus changed that. Coronavirus also changed my children’s athletic pursuits. I was on the hunt for a sport for my 3 sons during distance learning, and then met Joane. It felt like an angel appeared. She has put together an in-person Youth Karate Class in the Municipal Rose Garden. My sons will all be in attendance. Register now, it kicks off September 10. Class details below.
***If your child is curious but uncertain, Joane offers a free trial class. You can come, observe, and participate (if desired) before committing.
