A Fun, Flexible Online PE Program That Builds Strength and Confidence
At Great Start Karate, we make homeschool PE online simple, structured, and inspiring. Our live virtual karate classes help homeschool students stay active, build strength, and develop focus — all from home. We proudly serve families across the U.S. and Canada with classes that count for homeschool PE credit.
Why Families Love Homeschool PE with GSK

Our program fulfills homeschool physical-education
standards, and we provide downloadable PE Logs so parents can track progress. Kids build endurance, coordination, and flexibility through martial-arts fitness.
Each month focuses on a life skill like Respect, Effort, or Self-Control, so PE time becomes personal growth time.
Daytime, evening, or weekend classes — attend as often as you like with unlimited weekly sessions.
Expert instructors specialize in teaching
elementary-age students online.
Whether your child learns visually, auditorily, or
kinesthetically, karate’s structure and repetition make it ideal for every learner.
How It Works
Students can attend as many live classes each week as they like — mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Each 30-minute session (45 minutes for advanced levels) includes stretching, coordination drills, and a focus on the monthly Life Skill. Karate fits easily into any homeschool schedule.
Homeschool PE Credit Made Simple
Our live online classes meet homeschool PE requirements in nearly all U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Families use our downloadable Homeschool PE Tracker to log attendance and progress — an easy way to record hours for your homeschool portfolio with confidence.
2nd Degree Black Belt & Champion Instructor
Our Head Instructor, Sensei Katie Randol, is a 2nd Degree Black Belt, homeschool educator, and seasoned martial-arts competitor. She’s earned numerous Grand Champion titles in forms, sparring, and weapons, bringing that same focus and excellence to her teaching. With over 12 years of homeschool experience, she helps every student feel confident, motivated, and proud of their progress.
Connecting Kids Around the Globe
Through our live online dojo, homeschool students from across the U.S., Canada, and beyond train together in real time. These shared experiences help kids feel connected, confident, and part of a worldwide community that supports their growth.
Actually Love
Many homeschool families tell us this is the first time their kids have ever loved PE. Karate turns fitness into fun — helping kids laugh, move, and grow stronger while
developing focus, respect, and lasting motivation.
