The Town of Florence Parks and Recreation Department is excited to offer a class for kids that teaches them discipline, control and fitness. 

Learn “American Tang Soo Do” karate which includes a combination of self-defense and grappling skills. Discover everything from why you must bow, to kicks and punches. As the class progresses, put your skills and knowledge together to create a “Kata” or form.
