Karate is for everybody. For all age groups and for anyone who is interested. For People with limited capacities, due to age or any other reasons, all necessary care is taken to not push them to uncomfortable limits. And any person of any age group can start at any stage of life. We have many examples in our school to inspire people who don’t believe this. Kids are enrolled at an age of 3 or above.
