KarateMart.com Saves the Day for Parents Everywhere as Martial Arts Popularity Rises

PHOENIX, AZ, March 11, 2011 (Press-News.org) Earlier this week the online-based superstore KarateMart.com published an article looking to provide relief to parents of martial arts students everywhere. With interest in the many facets of the martial arts on the rise amongst children and young adults, parents of these young students are experiencing a sudden demand for a fun and affordable way to celebrate their birthday parties.

The martial arts have always been incredibly popular with children. For years the popular martial arts medium was an action movie with a headlining movie star. From Bruce Lee to Jet Li, nothing has been as successfully entertaining as Kung Fu movies and their stars. Until now. With the popularity of UFC fights sweeping sports in epidemic proportions,a surprising amount of MMA stars are rapidly becoming household names. The average person can recognize a mixed-martial arts fighter just as easily as a top NFL quarterback or NBA star. With so much attention suddenly cast upon the martial arts, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the youth of today would find themselves wanting to express their interests in their own birthday parties.

As early as a few years ago the option to throw a martial arts themed party would hardly have been a realistic choice for parents of kids bitten by the karate bug. To start with, tracking down any sort of karate themed decorations and supplies would have been incredibly difficult. The demand simply wasn't recognized as significant at the time. Even if a lucky parent were able to scrounge the right supplies, they might have found any other sort of planning resources in very short supply. This is where KarateMart decided to come to the rescue.

"We've seen a very noticeable rise in requests for karate birthday supplies and decorations over the past few years.", said Kyle Keniston of KarateMart.com, "It's surprising to think that it didn't catch on earlier, but until now parents haven't really had many options to choose from when putting together a party for their child." Recognizing the opportunity to help out a growing portion of their customer base, the e-commerce site decided to put together what they hope will become a guide for many parents. "We basically wanted to create a solid list of suggestions that parents can refer to while they're planning any sort of karate or martial arts party."

In response to the large volume of requests for karate-themed party supplies, KarateMart.com has also made the recent addition of a specialized section to their internet store. The new 'Party Supplies' section has been wholly dedicated to being the 'one-stop-shop' for anyone looking to throw a karate party. Whether a visitor is looking for a birthday banner, tablecloth, or an entire party package, KarateMart.com is hoping to provide a welcome reprieve to this new wealth of martial arts moms and dads.
