LILA

Karate at Lakes International Language Academy

Winter/Spring 2025

The self-image, self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-control your child develops today will determine the level of happiness he or she will have as an adult. Authentic Japanese Karate can aid your child in developing these qualities and more. Our unique children’s programs can also help your child attain:

  • Improved grades
  • Respect for others
  • Leadership skills
  • Increased concentration
  • Coordination and dexterity
  • Goal-setting and achievement

“My husband and I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for the kids over the years. We believe the skills they have learned through your teachings are invaluable and gifts they can take with them throughout their lives.

~Pam M., Parent, Behavior Intervention Specialist

Japanese Karate training also gives young people the strength not only to say “NO” to negative, potentially harmful peer pressure but to also back up their words with deeds. Our young students become the leaders of their peer groups, not compliant followers, fearfully seeking acceptance. Today’s world requires such strength from our children.
