See a description of the program below:

This martial arts program will feature a traditional Martial Arts curriculum that has been established for over 45 years. With an emphasis on childhood development and goal setting, this program promotes "Discipline of Mind and Body" and the development of a positive winning attitude!

The program is directed by the founder of the Kokoro Kai Association, Mr. Jonathan Exaros, whose Headquarters Academy is based out of Horsham, PA. Jonathan has been studying the martial arts since the early 1970's and has been operating the Academy for the past 25 years. An overwhelming majority of the staff members have grown up in the program and are now highly successful adults who are using their martial arts training to reach their own personal goals and development. The Academy is very pleased to be partnering with Doylestown Parks and Recreation, and is enthusiastic about bringing their unique and proven methods of teaching children to the Doylestown community.
