the property accommodated a recreational camp for mothers and children run by the District Nursing Society. In

is currently under repair and renovations towards an eventual goal of use by the public as a historic community
room within the next 5 years. In 2016 the Michigan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution donated

Sanchin-Ryu’s Karate for Kids!
For ages 4-14 (kindergarten-8th grade). Our program combines two crucial courses into one, SanchinRyu Karate & Self-Defense and Project: Secure Child (child safety). Students will be trained with proven,
age-appropriate techniques that are necessary for kids to protect themselves from attackers. This program
is set in a fun, yet structured, environment which will give your child a positive outlook on learning
a martial art. We focus on healthy attitudes versus perfection! Participants will achieve great selfconfidence and leadership through the physical techniques, mental strategies, drills and exercises they
are led through.
Sanchin-Ryu’s Karate for Families!
A Parent AND Child program for all ages! Set in a fun, non-competitive and informative atmosphere, this
program allows parents to learn alongside their children. Physical techniques will be instructed along with
drills and exercises, to help you have a positive experience with your self-defense education. Sanchin-Ryu
will teach you how to use your whole body, rather than just certain muscle groups, so size and stature
are not an issue.

For ages 14 and older. Set in a fun, non-competitive and informative atmosphere, this program is
designed to empower today’s adults with knowledge that can save your life! Students will learn a
broad range of techniques including individual strikes, advanced combinations and more. You will also
receive training on how to deal with, get out of and counter different grabs and other attack scenarios.

Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu (Japanese Sword Class)
Train your body, spirit and mind. Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu is a Koryu Japanese Sword Art, not taught
outside of Japan until recently. We are the only official group in the U.S. teaching this particular art.
The Clarkston Branch is managed by Kenneth Young (Genchu) Sensei (4th Degree) and guided by
the 15th headmaster in Japan. This class is for adults over the age of 18 (no exceptions). Since
many of our techniques start from a traditional kneeling position, students should expect to get into,
and up from, this position several times a class. Association and equipment fees will be needed for
continuous study; these details will be covered in class. Visit www.ustamiyaryu.org to learn more
and see a short video about the art. Held at Bay Court Park Lakeview Room.

Ages 3 - 5 years: The skills taught in pre-school classes have been designed by the American Red Cross to bridge the gap between the parent-child program and
the Learn-to-Swim program. Children must be able to take instruction from an adult other than a parent.
LEVEL 1:
Introduction to
Water Skills
Learn basic personal water safety and skills: become comfortable in the water, and enjoy water safely. Learn basic skills like bobbing, glides & floats, rolling over,
recover to standing, treading water, flutter kicks and paddle strokes to build on as child progresses through the levels.
LEVEL 2:
Fundamental
Aquatic Skills
Participants will learn rhythmic breathing, breath holding, open eyes under water, front/back glides & floats, and finning arm action. Students will continue to
practice combined arm & leg actions and floating skills to move forward through the water. Class taught in shallow water with some exposure to deeper areas
of the pool.
LEVEL 3: Stroke
Development
Participants will learn to dive from kneeling, rotary breathing, floating in deep water, front crawl and elementary back, learn scissor, dolphin, and whip kicks.
Primary objective is to coordinate front crawl, elementary backstroke, survival float and treading water. Class is taught in deep & shallow water.
LEVEL 4: Stroke
Improvement
Students continue to improve on front crawl and elementary backstroke. Participants will learn standing dives, swimming underwater, surface dives, survival
swimming, turns, treading water using different kicks, learn breaststroke, butterfly, back crawl and sidestroke as well as performing dolphin kick & flutter kick
on their back. Class taught in deep & shallow water.
LEVEL 5: Stroke
Refinement
Major emphasis is placed on improving coordination, refining strokes and increasing endurance. Students also learn surface dives, shallow dive, flip turns and
sculling. All strokes are performed over increasing distances to build endurance. Class taught primarily in deep water with some shallow water practice.
LEVEL 6:
Swimming & Skill
Proficiency
Refining strokes so swimmers move with smoothness, power and ease for longer distances. Students have three options for Level 6 – Personal Water Safety,
