Kenwa Karate of Sitka


Class & Events Schedule



Our current class schedule is below. We are currently operating level 1 and 2 classes.

We may revise the class schedule going into summer 2021 to expand options for students.
We currently plan to resume Little Dragons in fall 2021 and are waitlisting for that class.



Enrollment and registration



Currently accepting new students age 6 to adult plus returning students age 5+
Waitlisting for fall Little Dragons class ages 4-6



  • Level 1 Welcome Back / Intro Pods - Open to new students ages 6 to adult. Also open to returning students 5+ that were previously enrolled in Little Dragons or Level 1 classes. Currently we are running two separate pods to keep class size small. We introduce and review stances, blocks, attacks & introductory kata (forms) while placing a strong emphasis on improving one’s character by building manners, respect, and self-discipline.
  • Level 2 Classes - For intermediate to advanced students - rank and age requirements must be met before joining. Students will work individually and in groups on karate skills and their personal goals. Appropriate and focused behavior is expected of all level 2 students.
  • Little Dragons - Currently closed due to COVID & waitlisting for a fall 2021 relaunch. An introductory class for young children to learn basic karate techniques in a fun and age-appropriate environment.
  • Private Lessons - 30 minute or 1-hour private lessons available over Zoom or in-person by appointment. Limited times available with Sensei Laurinda (all ranks) and Senpai Bella (white belt through purple belt).
