Gi? Ready! Belt? Ready! Let’s go! It’s karate time. HAI-YAH!

Join Maya and all her friends as they get together at the dojo for their Saturday karate class! There are moves to remember, blocks to practise, and punches to perfect!

Maya is a white belt, which means she’s still a beginner, but with focus, balance, and determination – and a little helping hand from her friends – can she show Sensei what she’s got?

Karate Kids by Holly Sterling, a karate champion and teacher, is a joyful and uplifting celebration of the sport. It is a must-have primer for any child hoping to be a karate kid one day, too!
