What it is
Black Belts Karate Studio is a dojo in a box, complete with training mat including step-by-step instructions, inflatable heavy bag for kicking and punching, plus an action-packed training video.

Why it’s fun
Your kids are going to love the training video starring Tommy Nitro and his team. This 30-minute video guides kids step-by-step through the basics and fundamentals of karate, including stances, moves and the disciplines of the sport.

Who’s going to love it
Martial arts is one of the fastest growing activities. Many kids go through a karate phase at some point, which can sometimes involve lots of chops and kicks, often directed at a sibling or pet. The Karate Studio gives these kids a proper outlet.

Most importantly, this is ideal for the young preschoolers who want to take Karate lessons but who may be too young. This play format provides children with an authentic experience but that is targeted for younger children’s cognitive and physical abilities.

What to be aware of
In addition to being a fun toy for kids, Black Belts also gets kids moving and exercising, which is very important during the early growing years. Parents and caregivers may also be able to determine whether or not a child has a serious interest in pursuing Karate formally as the child plays with this product.

The video is available in both VHS and DVD format, so check the box before buying.
