Love Karate? Turn It Into A Party Theme

By Leigh Metopher


If your child is enjoying classes for martial arts in San Marcos, martial arts in Carlsbad or perhaps martial arts in Encinitas, it might also be fun to plan their next birthday party with a karate theme. Here are a few suggestions that might inspire you.

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.

For the dcor, think simple and stark, just like the karate dojo. Simple red lanterns can be hung from the ceiling and the walls can feature a few simple red and black banners. Place white writing on the banners using a font that looks Japanese. Many stores sell items for Ninja-themed parties and these decorations also can work well for a karate party.

It's always a good idea to provide some simple activities and a few games to help the kids pass the time. Create a craft station where children can create simple pieces of origami art, such as a ninja star. They can even use their stars for a game. Set up a table with empty water bottles and have children throw their star and ty to knock the bottles down. You also could have the children divide up into teams and try to place items in a bucket using only chopsticks. The winning team will be the one with the most items in the bucket.

Of course, all of this is much easier if you consider booking the party at a local dojo. At Team MAI, this Carlsbad karate school, offers affordable 90-minute parties for up to 10 children. Not only does the cost include set up and clean up, the kids also enjoy a variety of games as well as karate demonstrations. All of the kids receive a free class pass and the birthday boy or girl also gets a special extra gift. This can be an easy way to host a party, and it's a great way to encourage other children to sign up for Carlsbad karate classes, Encinitas karate classes and San Marcos 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.
