Our
philosophy

Above all, we assist our students in discovering their unique talents. We teach them how to build upon their strengths as well as their weaknesses. The benefits to the child stretch far beyond the karate classroom, benefiting the future of local communities.

 

We aim to expand the development of individuals to become limitless, healthy, and confident, as well as successful. Children quickly build self-respect while receiving physical, emotional, and mental education. Karate training for children is hugely beneficial and encourages children to take the opportunities that present themselves throughout their life.

 

We motivate children through an atmosphere where we hope to create substantial change. This change will help make the world a happier and more loving place.

 

Karate Neuropsychology

 

Karate City instructors use techniques based on Neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is the organization of mental processes in the brain. Our karate classes stimulate these mental processes, and this promotes early childhood development.

 

Neuropsychology techniques also help children who may be experiencing certain conditions. These conditions include early fatigue and speech disorders, as well as impaired memory, logic, and attention. If you notice that your child is not coping with school or kindergarten, then Karate City can help.

 

Neuropsychology correction will improve your child’s memory, problem-solving, attention, and focus, as well as their patience. Problem-solving, clear thinking, learning, and decision making will also improve.

Our
History

Igor Dyachenko is the heart and soul of Karate City. His journey from the average child to World Champion, in some eyes, has been a hero’s journey to say the least.

There have been many triggering decisions that required exceptional focus and fortitude to make him the individual he is today. He is a true supporter of an activated early childhood development and believes kids should be engaged as early possible.

Here are the pivotal decisions and opportunities that shaped his life, guided by his loving father and biggest fan.

 

/ 4 years old: “The Effect of Neuroscience”

 

Igor was first introduced to karate in a coloring book his father Serge gave him. Even in his early childhood, he was surrounded with karate equipment and books explaining various martial arts, sports, philosophy, and sports physiology. Igor remembers books piled up to the ceiling and looking up at them as a small child, counting over 100.

 

/ 6 years old: “Karate is Health”

 

In Chernobyl, after the disaster, Igor’s father worked half of each month as a scientist. In order to improve his own mental and physical health, Serge began practicing Karate and led Igor to the idea that “karate is health,” and not just physical health, but emotional and spiritual as well. Serge instilled within Igor the importance of learning the right way from the first day and that believing in mediocrity is a mindset that is not healthy.

At the time, however, Karate was banned in the Soviet Union. In Kiev, at the time there was only one class––an adult class. Serge brought Igor to class with him anyway. Witnessing Igor’s concentration and enthusiasm, the instructor decided to enlist Igor as an official student, and treated him as an equal to the adults. Because of this, Igor learned the importance of committing and being fully engaged.

 

/ 7 years old: “ The First Day of School”  

 

Through Karate, Igor was already on the path of effective learning, even upon entering regular school. He thought of his first teacher as a robot, who was conditioning her students to become simply average––the opposite from what he experienced in his Karate classes in terms of emotional and physical sophistication. He decided to rebel against his teacher’s educating style. That decision solidified his commitment to learning through Karate.

/ 8 years old: “The Vision”

 

Igor had a vision. It wasn’t purely imagination. He knew it would be his future. He began to develop his teaching methodologies at this age. He recalls having an innate knowledge of the early childhood mind and perception. At 8, Igor knew that there was nothing else except Karate. He already had his goals for the future set in place.

 

/ 10 years old: “Making Lemonade from Lemons”

 

When Igor was 10, it was a monumental time in Ukraine for Karate. During this time, Igor participated in the first competition in which he was forced to face against 12-year old children. There was a moment during the competition when his nose got broken. He felt devastated. But then something changed, and Igor began to use his karate legs and won. After that victory, Igor was told he was “The Prodigy of Ukrainian karate.”
