Richard Lear, Franchise Owner and Chief Instructor of Mile High Karate celebrated with the Bossier Chamber of Commerce at a ribbon cutting today. Richard explained that they are very interested in providing a place for families to learn valuable skills. They have a great structure in place for teaching children to focus their eyes, ears, minds and bodies to improve their manners, behavior and character.

Children can begin classes as young as four years old. Mr. Lear says that this is just about the right age for a child to begin training and learning the disciplines of Karate. Karate provides confidence, focus and self-esteem, which helps children prepare for school and life. Many children can truly benefit from learning self-control techniques taught at Mile High Karate.

Children aren’t the only people who can benefit from karate. Mile High Karate offers options for the whole family. In fact, right now they are offering a Mother’s Day Special for ALL women. FREE self-defense classes will be held on Monday, May 9th & Tuesday, May 10th. This is a great opportunity for women to learn real life techniques that teach confidence and ability to defend yourself. Mr. Lear gave us a sample demonstration and I’ve got to say, I was impressed by the techniques. He and his mother provided simple, real life scenarios which are helpful to anyone who is interested in feeling protected. Some of the techniques were so simple, yet very effective in thwarting off danger. The classes also promote wellness, stress relief and confidence. Free enrollment is limited, so you will want to call and reserve a spot soon.

Mile High Karate has after-school programs and is very involved in the community. The Mile High Karate franchise is a family and community oriented company, requiring each locality to perform at least 10,000 community service hours per year. This reinforces the message of being the best well-rounded person one can be.

Mile High Karate is located at 1745 Swan Lake Road, Suite G, Bossier City, LA, phone 318-703-4749. Stop by and tell them you read my blog.

See ya around Bossier,
