Looking For Karate for kids in Barrie

I am just curious is there any Karate programs in Barrie that are like $100-150 a month for two kids? Also with no set schedule? I work nights and only have Fridays and weekends available to bring them to extra curricular activities.

$150 for two or $150 each?

If the former, you're going to be hard-pressed to find kid's martial arts with Friday and Saturday classes for $75.

Not for 100-150.. But check oit Rei Karate Do downtown Barrie. its a set monthly fee and you can go up to 3x a week (Mon-Wed-Sat) its definitely worth it bang for buck and the staff are amazing.

Check out the kids programs at 705 Striking and Barrie Judo on St Vincent Street. They run great weekend (and during the week classes).

May I ask why Karate exactly?

Because I heard it is great for kids to get into especially if they have adhd. Why does it matter?

ADHD-activities that challenge the right and left hemisphere: swimming (can lead to summer jobs in the future), gymnastics, table tennis, tennis, ping pong, soccer etc…

I did Karate for about 10 years so wanted to know whats your goal with it. If its self-defence there are far, far better options. If its to keep them active there are better options too. If I could do it over again I wouldnt do Karate. I would only take my kids to do Karate if thats what they specifically asked for.
