T & P Martial Arts offers classes for all ages, from 'Little Dragons' (3-4 year olds) to Adult. Tom Donahue, a 5th-Degree Black Belt, teaches Shotokan Karate, kick-boxing, ground-fighting and self-defense with humor and style in a large, well-equipped space with a separate observation area for parents. Tom is also an accomplished magician, and often entertains students with jokes, magic tricks and balloon animals (as well as guest visiting magicians).

Classes for younger children emphasize movement, structure, social skills and the beginnings of discipline. Sessions are punctuated by games (like dodge-ball) that teach awareness and agility. Achievement is rewarded with small awards and rank advancement. Classes for older children continue games, but add more emphasis on complex, multi-step patterns. Adult and Black Belt classes emphasize defense and conditioning.
