Birthday Party Karate Style

A new Redford Karate friend, Jocelyn, turned 10 and had 20+ friends here for her birthday party! Moms love the birthday parties at the karate school because there is no clean-up. The kids had a great time playing crab ball, chinese throwing stars, ninja ninja dragon, breaking their first board, and watching Kyo Sa cut the cake with an awesome samurai sword! The birthday kid sits inside the "magic rope" with Mom or Dad to open presents so that other little hands aren't "helping" to open the gifts. (This was always a pet peeve at my own kids' parties!) To be able to open a card the birthday child has to do 5 push-ups, and to open a gift, they have to do 10 push-ups. The parents love this idea because the gift opening is slowed down, they can actually see what their children are receiving, and lots more thank you's are said! Birthday parties are held on Saturdays from 2:00 - 4:00pm, we provide fruit snacks and juice boxes, and the current cost is just $115. Parents can bring lunch in (pizza, hot dogs, subs, etc...) along with a cake and goody bags. Everything else is provided by Redford Karate.
