Missed the first week of class? No big deal! You can still try the fall session of Hibbing's Martial Art program over the next couple weeks. This is a great opportunity for adults and youth 8+.

We understand that the first week back to school can be crazy with the schedules, sports, and routine changes and don't want you to miss out on the opportunity to try classes with us.
Stop in to one of our beginner classes and give Hibbing National Karate a try. Classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 6:15pm in the Hibbing Early Learning Center Gym.

Have any questions or want to know more? Head to ISD 701 Hibbing Community Education website linked below for class information, schedule, or to signup. You can also send us a direct message or stop in at one of the classes!

🕕Tonight at 6:15pm, Hibbing National Karate begins their fall session at the ELC!
💭From the comments: "Martial arts training through National Karate is the best, it changes lives. The best part, one is never to old to begin. : )"
🥋Karate has helped kids and adults with their confidence, flexibility, and endurance. This is also an individually done sport, meaning that success is solely on the individual's participation. Like most activities, it is more fun with someone you know. Bring a friend, join with your kid, or talk a sibling into coming with you!
Join us tonight, learn about HibbingNK, the instructor, and some of the basics.
We can't wait to see you! 🤗

Want a new way to work on your flexibility and strength? Maybe you want to build confidence for yourself or help your child build their own confidence and strength.
🥋Incorporate karate into your back-to-school routine Tuesday and Thursday evenings. This is a year-round class that starts new sessions every 3 months! The newest session is starting September 8th @6:15pm. This individualized sport is great for kids, teens AND adults.
Over time, karate can help you build flexibility, strength and endurance but also build confidence in yourself, better your concentration/focus and increase your leadership abilities.
All classes are taught by black belts. Mr. Kennedy, class instructor, has 25+ years experience teaching here on the Iron Range and he spent many years before that training down at Ramsey National Karate. Mr. Kennedy has students who have been training under him for 15+ years, earned their black belts and now also help instruct classes to give a more 1-on-1 experience when it's needed.

❗Due to the dangerous air quality conditions, we have made the tough decision to cancel class tonight.
when making these decisions, we heavily consider safety of instructors and student.
Please stay indoors if possible, keep hydrated, stay safe, and we will resume class on Tuesday.

Discipline: Showing up when it would have been easier to stay home.
Dedication: Attending class when it is 85° outside and the building has really poor AC.

We know it's not easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it and there would be a lot more black belts in the world. Every class you attend regardless of the weather is a day you are getting stronger.
