Karate-Themed Parties That Will Earn Parents A Black Belt

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 martial art from Japan, specifically Okinawa, it might be fun to serve foods from Japan. While you might not get the kids excited about some types of sushi, they probably would enjoy a basic California roll or even a veggie roll. Provide a buffet with kebabs of teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef as well as bowls filled with edamame and a platter of gyoza. Spring rolls or egg rolls, while not technically a Japanese treat, would be a yummy idea, too. For a fun treat, make sushi out of rice Krispy treats and candy.

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.

If you want to make the party really easy, simple call your local Carlsbad karate school, such as Team MAI and book a party at the dojo. The staff at Team MAI books 90-minute karate-themed parties for kids of all ages. Your costs will include the set-up and all the clean up as well as a karate demonstration and many fun activities. The party goers also receive a pass, good for one free class at Team Mai, and this karate party will be a great way to introduce your child's friends to the world of karate. Perhaps it will inspire them to sign up for San Marcos karate classes, Carlsbad karate classes or Encinitas karate classes.

At Team MAI, karate lessons are available for children as well as teenagers at any level. Students can begin as early as four years old. Team MAI also hosts fun evening events for the kids as well as summer camp experiences. To try out this Carlsbad karate school, they do provide a free trial for two weeks.
