Classes are grouped by experience, not just by age
Within the 7–11 age group, students move from Dynamic Karate Kids into Black-Belt Training and then Masters Training as their rank advances. If you are not sure where you belong, call 207-622-7373 and we will place you correctly.
Weather closures
If Manchester School (Union 42) is closed because of weather, the dojo is closed too. If the weather turns during or after school hours, call the dojo and listen for the announcement on our answering service. See the closed dates page for holiday breaks.
