Welcome to GSK! Advanced Online Karate Classes for Kids
At Great Start Karate, our live, online Advanced Classes are where everything clicks. Designed for students with Brown or Red Belts, this level challenges kids to think, move, and lead like true martial artists while sharpening focus, courage, and creativity.
Expanding Knowledge
Students revisit fundamentals with deeper focus on detail, control, and technique. Every stance, strike, and transition is refined for precision and power. Added Japanese and Korean terminology connects them to martial arts culture and both traditions.

Next Steps on the Path to Black Belt
Advanced students refine precision, confidence, and leadership as they prepare for their Junior Black Belt (Black/White) — a milestone marking years of growth.
After earning Junior Black Belt, they enter the Black Belt Prep Course — a proven program that helps kids reach high, set bold goals, and train for their Black Belt with focus and determination. The course deepens leadership, goal-setting, advanced forms, and karate precision.
Black Belt Journey
From here, students take on the ultimate challenge: earning their GSK Legacy Black Belt — the highest level of growth at Great Start Karate.
The Legacy Belt represents more than skill; it’s about leaving a mark. Students design their own karate forms, lead creative projects, and demonstrate what years of effort, perseverance, and leadership have taught them. Each Legacy journey is unique, symbolizing a student’s personal growth and the positive impact they leave on others.
The Legacy Black Belt curriculum is available to members only and can be found in the secure member section of our website.
