Programs
At Bitanga’s, we offer a range of dynamic programs designed to promote self confidence, physical fitness, self-discovery, and life skills for students of all ages.
We look forward to helping you discover what the world of martial arts has to offer.
Karate is not only a fun way to get into shape and learn self-defense, it’s also a lifestyle that has brought honor and discipline to countless individuals for hundreds of years.
The fighting arts of Okinawa have a rich heritage that traces back to the 14th century. There were many occurrences throughout the history of the Ryukyuan Kingdom that helped shape Karate into what it is today. Karate is a fusion of the indigenous fighting arts of Okinawa, southern Chinese martial arts from the Fujian Province, and quite possibly the combative methodologies of the Samurai. In essence, the spirit of Practical Karate is quite similar to the modern MMA approach. If it works, use it.
Bitanga’s Martial Arts Center incorporates Kickboxing into its curriculum.
Most karate schools either point spar or don’t spar at all. We have used kickboxing as our form of free sparring since our conception. Kickboxing is a wonderful way to get into shape and learn viable self defense methods all while having fun! All sessions are conducted under the watchful eye of an experienced black belt instructor. The kickboxing environment in our Dojo is always friendly and supportive of each participant’s unique goals.
Bitanga’s After School Program is exclusively available to enrolled students, running from 3:00 to 5:30 pm, Monday through Thursday, throughout the school year.
Meigs students can ride the bus directly to our dojo, where they will be greeted by a welcoming environment. The program includes homework assistance, snacks, and a weekly enrichment activity to help students grow academically and personally. Rooted in martial arts values, our program ensures that children are developing physically, mentally, and emotionally—preparing them for success both in school and in life.
