Summer schedule for free Karate classes

Karate develops self-confidence, focus, strength, and flexibility. The Northfield Karate Club is open to adults, teens, and children (at least 6 years old). Karate is a great family activity, and we especially welcome children and their parents.

Summer classes are Monday, 6:15-7:15 pm, Wednesdays, 6:15-7:15 pm, and Saturday, 12-1 pm at the Carleton Recreation Center. (The schedule will change in September.)

We train in Shorin-ryu karate, a traditional Okinawan martial art. The Northfield Karate Club is part of Shorin-Ryu Karate USA, with many affiliated clubs and dojos around the world. Classes are free. There is no regular fee except for promotions and for the traditional karate uniform, or gi, which can be ordered after trying out a few classes.
