KIK Programs
At Klotz Institute of Karate, we teach Tang Soo Do Karate and Ju-Jitsu to students of all ages at our Bowie and Columbia Studios.
We organize our training into three distinct classes: Pee-Wees (ages 4-6), Youth (ages 7-12), and Adults (ages 13+). Each class actively focuses on the five major areas of training outlined below, ensuring that students build a strong martial arts foundation appropriate to their age and skill level.
Our Curriculum
Basic Motion
These are the building blocks for all the other areas of martial arts training.
Students begin by mastering stationary skills such as stances, blocks, and strikes. As they progress, they then learn to combine these skills into fluid sequences, enhancing their overall technique and coordination.
Katas
Students use their skills from basic motion and learn a memorized pattern.
They practice a detailed, choreographed sequence of martial arts movements, which can be reviewed both individually and in groups during training sessions. This approach not only helps students memorize the movements but also perfects their execution. Each belt rank includes two katas, offering structured progression and refinement of techniques.
One-Step
This a pre-arranged attack and defense drill.
Students learn to respond to specific stimuli, focusing on spacing, footwork, and effective counter-attacks. As they advance, they also begin to learn takedowns and sweeps, starting at the green belt level.
Ju-jitsu
Students learn how to break out of various chokes and grabs.
Each belt rank includes a specific set of defensive techniques. As students advance, they also receive training in submission holds, sweeps, and takedowns, beginning at the green belt level.
Free Sparring
This is an area where students put all of their skills together with another student.
They use their kicks, punches, and blocks in dynamic practice sessions. Proper safety equipment is required at specific belt ranks to ensure a safe and effective sparring experience.
