Karate Party

Karate Party Birthday Box

Birthday Child’s Starring Role

Your child kicks and chops as the Master at this martial arts party. If possible, present your child with an honorary black belt for the day.

Party Settings

Reserve a space at a local studio if possible. Otherwise, transform your home into your very own dojo with bamboo mats, paper lanterns, and white balloons.

Use Karate Invitations to start the party mood before the big day.

Party Fun & Games

Let your karate sensei provide a demonstration of his skills as well as an introductory lesson in basic karate stances and moves. Encourage the children to create their own stances to match titles such as Crane on Tree Limb or Polishing Mirror.

Party Leader

Hire an expert, either a teacher at a nearby school or a good friend with a zest for playing zen master, to instruct party guests on the tradition of karate.

Party Tunes

Karate is a spiritual activity as much as a method of defense. Respect that aspect when you choose your musical selections. Check out a local music store for meditation music that will help your young masters’ concentration.

Party Refreshments

Provide plenty of snacks to fuel your future black belts’ energy. If sushi isn’t a favorite of your child’s how about some california rolls? Those look asian enough without the raw fish flavor. How about Chicken Teriyaki?  Black licorice lace  candies also seem appropriate when they look like mini black belts.

Party Finale

Invite each party guest to step out on to the mat and demonstrate his favorite karate move of the afternoon.

Birthday Presents & Favors

Present your guests with black belts or headbands. These personalized zipper pulls are also a great accessory to their backpacks.

Party Tips

Not every party guest will emerge as the next Karate Kid. Instead of focusing on perfect performances, just make sure that each child participates in the fun.
