Martial Arts Programs at YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties utilize a progressive approach for all ages. Trial karate classes are offered on the first class of each session, pre-registration is requested since limited space is available.
Karate Programs in Doylestown and Quakertown
Karate programs held in our Doylestown and Quakertown branches are taught by Bucks County Karate school, headed by Sensei Stacy Pursell Jr. As members of the AJKA-I, Bucks County Karate School teaches traditional JKA Shotokan Karate. We offer classes for adults and children ages 5 and up. Parents and their children ages 7 and up have the opportunity to experience their karate journey together as they take class together. Our Dragon Warriorz classes for ages 5-8 are based on Traditional JKA Shotokan Karate techniques but are presented as developmentally appropriate tasks that will build the child’s self-esteem.
