Love Karate? Turn It Into A Party Theme

By Leigh Metopher


For children enrolled in martial arts in Encinitas, martial arts in San Marcos or martial arts in Carlsbad, this is a fun and exciting activity. In addition to their weekly classes, why not take their love of karate even further and plan a karate party for your child's birthday? We've compiled a few simple suggestions to make the party planning easier.

Because Karate is a Japanese martial art, developed on the islands of Okinawa, you definitely should consider serving up some cool Japanese cuisine. Certainly some children might be a bit wary of certain types of sushi, but you could keep it simple with California rolls or even create festive candy sushi using dried fruit leather, candies and crisp rice treats. Simple, kid-friendly Japanese tidbits include items such as shelled edamame, gyoza dumplings and yakitori, which are basically chicken kebabs. Even egg rolls, which actually are Chinese, might be a fun tidbit. If you have an Asian market nearby, check it out and you are sure to find some fun Japanese foods that the kids might enjoy trying.

Consider decorating the party room in red, white and black. Hang homemade lanterns of red or black from the ceiling with fishing line. Decorate the walls with red and black banners featuring Japanese printing or use a typeface that evokes the feeling of Japanese lettering, such as a Ninja-inspired font. Pass out white karate headbands for each child to wear during the party, and you can even personalize these with their names written out in that Japanese-style font.

When it comes to games and activities, provide a few simple crafts such as a station where children make origami items, such as birds or ninja stars. If they make the stars, you also can create a game where children try to throw the stars and knock lightweight balls off of a tube. A chopstick relay also could be fun as children hold an item such as cotton ball or marshmallow with chopsticks and run from one side of the room and back without dropping it. These are just a few fun games that will help pass the time at your party.

For a truly easy party, simply book the event at the Team MAI karate school in Carlsbad. They will do all the set-up work as well as cleaning up after the party. The kids will be treated to a 90-minute event that includes a demonstration of karate, games and other activities as well as your treat time. In addition, they provide a free pass at the end of the party for each attendee so that they can enjoy a class at Team MAI. For parents searching for a Carlsbad martial arts school or Encinitas martial arts school, this can be a helpful way to get their child started with karate.

The instructors at this karate school in Carlsbad also provide lessons for teens and children as young as four. There are also several nighttime events during the year and fun summer camps. To give Team MAI a try, they even offer a free two-week trial so your child can see whether or not karate classes will be a good fit for them.
