From the reviews

As a long time student of this karate school, I can honestly say that this school has changed my life. As a child, I was troublesome, had anger issues and lacked self-confidence.

Great Karate school . They have a deal for $69 dollar for 12 sessions. My son first session and they are very friendly and proffesional. I do recommend this school and to take advatange of the deal they have. Also they give my son a free uniform. It a great place for kids and parents.

We really love Taylor’s A Plus School of Martial Arts, especially, the environment, and instructors. It’s very clear that they love children and care about their well being. The instructors spend time getting to know and playing with the children while still holding them to a high standard with support.

★★★★★ — Sekou, Aug 2019

The instructors truly have a passion for the art of karate. They exhibit extreme knowledge and patience while teaching each student, young and older. I personally love that Leroy "superfeet" Taylor is the head instructor so I know my child is learning karate at one of the BEST schools!

Your first Karate class at A-Plus Taylors School Of Karate

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
