The Friendswood ISD Community Education Karate program will begin Thursday, January 14, 2010.  Classes are held at the Friendswood Junior High School in the Snack Bar area beginning at 6:30 pm for youngsters ages 5-12 years, and at 7:30 pm for students ages 13-70.

Community Education sponsors the American-Style Karate program and focuses on the art, sport, kidnapping awareness, self defense and self confidence aspects of the sport.  Beginner-Black Belt levels are offered.

Students are welcome to try the first lesson free, and registrations are taken during the first 3 weeks of class.  The January 14 classes continue through April 1 (no classes during FISD spring break) for 11 weeks of  Karate.  The 11-week session is followed by an 8-week Mini-Session, so it is possible to take Karate through the full spring semester.
