Karate A to Z: The Martial Arts Alphabet
Kindergarten Readiness Program
Karate A to Z is an innovative program, developed by Master Anthony Lerma in 2002, that teaches the basic movements, techniques and stances found in a wide range of martial arts as well as sports, combined with the use of the alphabet.
Karate A to Z is designed and developed specifically for the emotional and physical needs of young children. It incorporates skills such as focus, balance, strength, coordination, and self control, and provides students with an awareness of the sights and sounds of the alphabet. The result is a reading readiness program based on movement that is fun and helps children of all ages develop visual and phonetic familiarity with the alphabet, as well as teach them vocabulary for social growth and invaluable life skills.
The benefits of training result in improved:
– mental focus
– balance and coordination
– core strength
– character development
– social growth
– life skills: accountability, discipline, confidence and expression

Dear Master Lerma,
I want to take a moment to thank you for all the time and effort you have devoted to our daughter. We brought her almost two years ago, a shy and very withdrawn 4 1/2 year old child. During the fourteen months she studied in your A to Z class, my husband and I watched as you patiently helped her to learn and master various moves. As a result of your patience and mentoring over the last two years, she has developed a measure of confidence that shows not only in her Karate, but also in her school work where she is an above average student. Thank you again for working with my husband and I to help our daughter develop into her full potential. We consider you a co-partner in her development, and look forward to many, many years working together.
