    WEST MILFORD — West Milford Parks and Recreation will again be sponsoring a Kidsafe Karate program this spring. The program will offer sessions to boys and girls ages 5 to 15 on Monday afternoon, beginning April 3 and continuing until June 19. This program is designed to enhance self-esteem, self-discipline and safety awareness. Students are placed into classes according to age and ability. A black belt instructor teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced techniques for self-defense only. Self-discipline and defense, rather than aggressiveness are promoted. Weekly safety flyers focus on a wide range of topics including stranger and fire safety and more. Classes are fun and increase fitness and coordination. The cost is $70 for West Milford residents and $80 for non-residents. Call 973-728-2860 for information and to register.
