Karate
The karate we teach is called "Traditional Karate" and is part of the Israeli Traditional Karate Federation, which belongs to the World Traditional Karate Federation (WTKF). The practice of karate provides a total workout for the body, develops self-discipline, and respect for others. The training will include a warm-up, stretching, learning variety of punches, kicks and blocks, basic sparing and Katas. The training gives the youngsters a good aerobic workout and builds breathing, muscle control and correct posture. Traditional Karate is almost non-contact training, and will teach the children to avoid violence and conflicts. They will not learn to strike each other, but rather to control and work from the center of their body and rely on strategy and good timing, rather than on physical strength.
Swimming
The after school swimming activity is focused on learning how to breathe correctly and feel safe in the water. It also concentrates on improving the technique of freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. An introduction to butterfly will also be taught. At the end of each lesson there is free time or water games such as looking for toys in the water.
