Birthday PartiesHaving a birthday party at the Academy will be the easiest party you have ever planned. We handle the entire event from start to finish, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the party.
We will first teach basic martial arts to the birthday child and his friends and then everyone will run obstacle courses, jump over pads, play dodgeball, and participate in a Candy-hunt. Each party includes drinks, pizza, games, plates, cups, and lots of fun. Optional packages can include board-breaking for all the kids and slicing the birthday cake by the birthday child with a real samurai sword. All you need to do is provide the cake. If you have any special requests, we will do what we can to accommodate you. Party package examples can be seen below but we can customize your party as needed.

IMAA Events and Parties
Learning and training in Martial Arts is great fun but is also hard-work so we like to reward our students (and parents!) with events throughout the year to celebrate holidays, but also to celebrate and cultivate the community that is IMAA Topsfield which includes all of our students, parents, and instructors. These are some examples:
Holiday Parties: We get together for Halloween and Christmas every year with fun themed parties. The food and refreshments are pot-luck and the parties include games, videos, and usually a performance from our Demo Team. Students and Parents are all invited. Charity Events: One newcomer to our list of events is our children's fundraiser, The Alimpycs, featuring martial arts versions of Olympic events. This fun afternoon is free to attend, and children work hard to receive pledges for their performance in these events to raise money for the year's charity. Our other new event is a Parent's Auction & Wine Charity Fundraiser that takes place in the evening. Last year we had live piano and a live band as well as catered food, a dance floor, door prizes, raffles and a silent auction. Proceeds are donated to the year's charity. Movie Nights & Game Nights: Kids work hard in class, but parents work hard too, and they deserve a night off. Movie and Game Nights allow you to get a night out, while your kids watch a movie and or play games with their friends at the Academy. Movies are generally rated G or PG, but please check the Movie Night flyer before signing up as on occasion we show PG-13 movies. Every year around Thanksgiving we have an extended and combined Movie-Game Night that is an extra 2 hours long. We call this night Drop & Shop. It's intended purpose is to allow parents to take care of some holiday shopping without the kids, but if a nice dinner out or an adult-only gathering for the evening is more your cup of tea, we understand. If this monthly event interests you, please ask about our Movie & Game Night multi-pass. Summer Cookout: What would summer be without a family cookout? At IMAA Topsfield, we consider all our students, parents, and instructors to be part of an extended karate family, so of course we engage in this not-to-be skipped summer family tradition. Held out in the sunshine and complete with summer fun and a grill or two, the bonds of our karate family continue to strengthen at this annual potluck event. Special Visitors or Events: We frequently have special seminars and sometimes guest instructors, so keep an eye on the calendar above. |
