Parents' Night Out

Parents' Night Out

Parents, are you looking for a night out without the kids?

At Emerald City Karate, we’ve got you covered. We throw a Parents’ Night Out Party at the dojo for the kids so parents can get some much-needed time to themselves to go see a movie or just spend some quality time together.

No experience in Martial Arts before? No Problem!

Our PNO is designed to be fun and educational for children at every level of experience from beginners to advanced. Our PNO will feature pulse-pounding Martial Arts techniques, NERF Blaster games, Foam Sword Battles, dodgeball, Teamwork-building exercises, and more activities.

Our unforgettable events provide an excellent safe atmosphere of positive role models.

  • No Experience Needed! You’ll have a blast even if you’ve never trained a day in the martial arts!
  • Every PNO features NERF Blaster excitement in a Safe and Responsible environment.  Participants are required to wear our provided Safety Glasses during these activities.

Testimonials

“I first started training under Sensei Tobey in 2008. When I first started my training I was a pack-a-day smoker. I had tried to quit smoking many times but had failed. I promised Sensei I’d quit before my black belt test. I no longer smoke, and I believe that my training in Shudokan Karate under Sensei Tobey gave me the mental discipline that I needed to quit.”

“My 7-year old son and I have been going to Emerald City Karate for several years now. We have had a great time and always look forward to our family/youth class. As well as teaching about karate and Japanese culture and language, Sensei Tobey provides great lessons on how to work hard and patiently to succeed in anything. It’s also a great way to get mid-week exercise!”

Testimonials

“Sensei Tobey is my son’s Karate teacher (we’re in the 4 to 6-year-old class).   As a teacher of small children, I find him to be a wonderful combination of patience, discipline, and fun. He is very passionate about teaching Karate and it shows. He relates to the kids very well and can teach boys and girls equally, not only the physical skills of Karate but mental focus skills as well. It’s been a great experience for my son and I highly recommend Sensei Tobey and Emerald City Karate to anyone looking to enroll their child in a martial arts class. “

Testimonials

Before joining Emerald City Karate I had no experience playing sports or participating in exercise programs because I didn’t like physical activities. So I didn’t expect I would be able to keep training for more than a month or so. But I found it to be fun immediately. The karate class has a variety of different subjects that keep students from being bored. Also, Sensei Tobey knows how to encourage students and allows them to have fun while feeling good about themselves. He likes telling jokes and making students laugh but his passion for teaching karate is always distinctive and serious. Because of his encouragement, I have kept training for a long time and even now I am training in Japan! Karate has taught me the joy of exercise and improved my concentration and it continues to teach many students to practice better manners and etiquette.

It is my pleasure to recommend Emerald City Karate for your exercise and experience in martial arts.
