This month we've got a visit from Sensei Harry Charache, from Onsite Family Martial Arts!
Come learn the basics of Isshinryu Karate - how to count in Japanese, the 5 rules of self-defense, plus some basic blocks and other skills. Come ready to listen, learn and MOVE!
Sensei Harry is an 8th degree black belt who has been teaching martial arts for over 40 years, more than 30 of those here on the Seacoast. Portsmouth students may also recognize him as a frequent substitute teacher!
*****
Whim Whams was first presented by Portsmouth Public Library's Youth Services in the 80’s, and since retro is cool, we're bringing it back! Each month, on early release days, we will feature a different activity for kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Each session is free, and you don't have to attend all of them to take part.
This after-school series will invite local experts, artists and craftspeople, as well as library staff, to come in and share their knowledge and skills with the kids. Potential activities include a writing workshop, a martial arts demonstration and introduction, a maker day, and more!
