🥋 Congratulations to all of our Black Belts and Black Belt Candidates!

We’re incredibly proud of everyone who stepped onto the floor for our recent Black Belt Test. We’ll be sharing more about those who earned their new ranks in the coming days!

🙏 A huge shout-out—and a deep bow of appreciation—to the Shudokan Black Belts who came to serve on our judging panel. Your time, experience, and thoughtful feedback help keep our standards strong and our students growing. We couldn’t do it without you!

Congratulations to everyone who challenged themselves! 🥋👏

🎒 New backpack? Check.
✏️ School supplies? Check.
🥋 Confidence? Let’s work on that.

The best back-to-school supply isn’t something you can buy at the store.

It’s CONFIDENCE.

Confidence to raise your hand.
Confidence to meet new people.
Confidence to speak up for what’s right.
Confidence to face something difficult and say, “I can do this.”

At Emerald City Karate, kids build confidence by setting goals, overcoming challenges, and discovering what they’re capable of—one step at a time.

🥋 Our beginner classes have just started!

👉 Start your Two-Week Trial today and give your child something they can use all year long.

Confidence is the best back-to-school supply. 🎒🥋

🥋 SUMMER CAMPERS—YOUR STRIPES COUNT! ⭐

What an EPIC summer! From Star Wars and Ninja Camp to Harry Potter, Secret Agent, Avengers & more, our campers learned more than just how to have an awesome time—they took their first steps in karate!

Many campers earned their Memory Stripe by learning to count 1–10 in Japanese, and some even earned their Bronze Stripe! 💪

🔥 And those stripes carry over!
Join our regular classes this fall and your child can start their karate journey with the stripes they already earned at camp.

Our White Belt classes are starting from the beginning RIGHT NOW, making this the perfect time to jump in!

And parents—you can train too! 👨‍👩‍👧🥋 Get off the sidelines, get on the mat, and start working toward black belt together.

Beginner classes: Monday–Thursday + Saturday

Your journey toward greater confidence, focus & success starts here.
