Ninjas Move Forward

Genbu-Kai Karate recently tested and promoted five ninja students to their next belt level belts. All five are from the Wellington, Royal Palm Beach and Greenacres areas. The 16-month ninja program is specifically designed for pre-school children ages 4 to 6. Emphasis is placed on improving fine and gross motor skills, while teaching the life skills of focus, teamwork, control, balance, memory, discipline, fitness and coordination. Ninjas learn how to set and achieve goals while practicing twice a week and advancing through nine required rank levels. For more information on the classes, call (561) 804-1002 or visit www.floridagenbukai.com. (Front row) Cecilia Marin, Donovan Kelley, J.J.
