Karate - 5th - 8th Grade
GNG Recreation is excited to partner with Phoenix Academy of Martial Arts to bring more opportunities to learn martial arts to our community. Karate is an activity that helps children develop humility, self-control, integrity, discipline, perseverance, and compassion. Instructor, Jeff Chandler, obtained his black belt in October 2015. After moving to New Gloucester, he started attending classes at Phoenix Karate Academy in Auburn, Maine. He was challenged to learn a new discipline and Sosai Hary and Sosai Donna Harris welcomed him with open arms and they say, "The rest is history." Jeff began teaching a wide variety of students from toddlers to adults. In the summer of 2016, Jeff expanded and began offering classes to Rise and Sine Daycare in his backyard. He believes that the discipline students learn through karate is helpful in everyday life.
