WELCOME NEW STUDENTS

Kaylee L. (8), already has a busy schedule and plenty of big goals! Her karate journey began when she was six years old. Her brother wanted to try karate, so Kaylee joined him, and before long, she discovered that she loved training in martial arts too.

These days, one of Kaylee’s favourite parts of karate is sparring. She loves the competitive side of it and enjoys the excitement of testing her skills against her classmates. That same willingness to challenge herself can be seen in many other parts of her life. Kaylee is a true competitor. In her first Superkids Karate tournament, she had to arrivelate to the ring and was asked to perform her kata and spar without even getting a chance to settle in or sit down. Kaylee walked into the ring and ended up coming out with 2 gold medals!

Kaylee keeps busy with swimming, Chinese dance, piano, Chinese school, and skating. She is progressing to Level 8 swimming and attends Chinese dance twice a week. This summer, she took on one of her biggest challenges yet when she participated in the MyMulan Chinese fantasy dance showin St. Catharines. The three-day event was her first time leaving home and staying with her dance school classmates. It was tiring and difficult at times, but Kaylee pushed through and was incredibly proud of herself.

When she does find some free time, Kaylee enjoys drawing, crafting, exploring new things, watching MrBeast, and spending time at the park. At home, she has two goldfish, and a soft spot for cats as she loves the occasional trip to a cat café.

Kaylee is currently in Grade 3 at Beckett Farm Public School and already has two very big career goals: she wants to become an eye doctor and a karate master. Knowing Kaylee’s determination and enthusiasm for trying new things, we’re excited to see what she accomplishes as she continues to grow.

Congratulations to Kaylee on being recognized as this month’s Superkid of the Month!

CHARLOTTE C. (11)

is a creative and imaginative student who always brings her focus to class. She has developed into a consistently dedicated martial artist who comes to train up to 4 times a week.

Charlotte first joined Superkids Karate after her parents encouraged her to give it a try. Since she started, she has always enjoyed the martial arts and her enjoyment has never wavered. Charlotte may not be the loudest student in class, but she lets her actions do the talking. She arrives ready to learn, works hard every lesson, and consistently gives her best effort. She especially enjoys practicing katas and training with the bo staff, taking pride in refining the details of each movement.

Outside the dojo, Charlotte stays active by swimming at the local Community Centre and volunteering as one of her school’s library helpers, where she organizes books and helps prepare for book fairs. When she has free time, her creativity really shines. She loves reading young adult novels, manga, and manhwa, listening to K-pop, creating arts and crafts, writing short fiction stories, and making tiny clay sculptures by hand.

Charlotte is currently a Grade 6 student and is already thinking about her future. Inspired by Mira Kano from Alice in Borderland, she hopes to one day become either a manga artist or a psychologist. Her love of storytelling and creativity makes both dreams a perfect fit.

One fun fact about Charlotte is that she has been an avid reader since Grade 3 and is helping her parents plan their upcoming family trip to Japan. Whether she’s exploring a new book, creating a miniature sculpture, or perfecting a kata, Charlotte approaches everything with curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm. We are proud to recognize her as August’s Superkid of the Month!

KATHERINE C.

is the kind of student who is always eager to learn something new. At 11 years old, she brings curiosity, dedication, and a positive attitude to everything she does, both inside and outside the dojo.

Katherine first started karate because her father wanted her to learn self-defense. She is now a green belt and over her time training she built real friendships with classmates like Emily P, Emily B, Jessie, SofiaNicole, Jane, Zoe, Alexa, and Youngia. She especially enjoys the precision of katas, learning takedowns, and the excitement of nunchuck training. Her hard work has even earned her two gold medals and one bronze medal at our biannual karate tournaments.

Outside of karate, Katherine keeps busy with a wide range of activities. She plays clarinet in her school band, is working toward her Bronze Medallion in swimming, enjoys golfing, and has recently started learning freestyle skiing. In her free time, she enjoys listening to Taylor Swift and K-pop, solving puzzles, spending time with friends, and attending live musicals. She could not be more well-rounded!

One of Katherine’s most impressive interests is her love of languages. She is currently learning five languages: Cantonese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, and French. Her goal is to become a polyglot one day, who can understand and communicate in many languages. She also enjoys learning about different countries and cultures and can type at an incredible speed of over 110 words per minute.

Katherine hopes to one day work in a science-related field, with dreams of becoming a cancer biologist, toxicologist, or nuclear engineer. With her strong work ethic, love of learning, and willingness to challenge herself, there is no stopping this Superkid from making a change in the world. Congratulations, Katherine!

NAOMI & JOCELYN C.

Superkids of the Month for March 2026! Both girls have been part of the Superkids Karate family for 7+ years, growing up with the dojo and showing their dedication, persistence, and character growth along the way. After 7+ years of training, Jocelyn has received her 1^st level Brown Belt while Naomi has been training slightly longer and has achieved her 2^nd level.

Jocelyn, who is 11 years old and in Grade 6 at Buttonville Public School, first started karate after her dad encouraged her to try it to learn how to protect herself and her family. Over the years she has grown more confident comfortable with learning new techniques. Jocelyn especially enjoys partnering up with other students and trying the skills and techniques on each other.

Outside the dojo, Jocelyn is a forced to be reckoned with. She also enjoys staying active through school sports like basketball, volleyball, and badminton. She sings in her choir, participates in a crochet and knitting club, and has reached Level 7 at Olympic Swim School. When she has some free time, Jocelyn enjoys playing Minecraft with her sister or Roblox with her friends.

Her older sister Naomi, 14, is a Grade 9 student at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School. Naomi has found her enjoyment in a different aspect of martial arts… weapons. She enjoys learning how to utilize the Bo staff and kali sticks.

Outside of karate, Naomi has been taking art classes for the past two years, where she enjoys expressing her creativity. In her free time, she likes playing video games such as Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Roblox. She also has some unique hobbies, including sharpening knives, which reflects her attention to detail.

Although Naomi and Jocelyn have different interests and personalities, karate has been a shared part of their lives for many years. Their level of commitment and diligence make them a great pair to recognize as this month’s Superkids of the Month.

NATHAN L.

Has been asking to try karate since he was just 3, and when he finally started at age 7. For the first year, motivating him was difficult as he was only able to train once a week, meaning his progress was slow. Once Nathan’s mom convinced him to start training 2 times a week, he began to see improvements which led him to gain confidence and his progress sky rocketed. Today, karate is something Nathan truly enjoys, especially katas, where his quiet focus and attention to detail really shine. Nathan is living proof of the importance of consistency and hard work.

Nathan brings that same energy into everything he does. At school, he’s known not only for his creativity but also for his leadership, having proudly served as a class representative for two years in his school’s student parliament. He’s an avid reader with a bookshelf full of favourites like Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, and Warriors, and he loves writing long, imaginative stories of his own. When he’s not reading or writing, you’ll likely find him building elaborate LEGO creations, exploring Minecraft worlds, or heading outside in the winter to carve out snow caves.

Outside the dojo and classroom, Nathan keeps busy with a wide range of activities. He takes piano lessons, attends art class, swims, skis, and has recently started learning the guitar. His dedication has also paid off in competition, earning him two silver medals and one bronze in karate tournaments. At home, he shares his space with two guinea pigs, Mocha and Marshmallow.

Nathan is currently in Grade 5 at Ashton Meadows and he hopes to become an engineer one day. With his creativity, and growing confidence both in and out of the dojo, Nathan is a wonderful example of what it means to be a SUPER-kid.

Alaina is one of our most avid and consistent tournament competitors. Her hard work has led to impressive results, including 4 gold medals and 2 silver medals in kata, as well as a bronze medal in sparring.
