From the reviews

I love how confident my son has become since he started at Action Karate Oreland! Even his teacher noticed that he was participating more in class. Mr. Sude and Ms. Genevieve are such strong role models and excellent teachers. They strive to have each child do their best and it really shows. I highly recommend them!

★★★★★ — Danielle, Aug 2023

Rohaan's journey through the belt progression has been nothing short of amazing. He is generally a reserved person and I have seen him develop friendships with his classmates.

★★★★★ — Shoaib, Oct 2025

I can honestly say that joining Action Karate Oreland has been the single best thing I've every done for myself :-) From the moment I walked into the building two years ago, I was welcomed like an old friend and made to feel right at home -- a vast difference from almost every gym/workout facility I've visited or…

★★★★★ — Eileen, Dec 2025

We’ve been training at Action Karate Oreland since they opened. It started with our middle child’s determination to try martial arts and an open house where our kids were immediately engaged. Neither my husband nor I had ever dreamt of trying martial arts so we were a little hesitant at first.

New to Karate? Start at Action Karate Oreland

Action Karate Oreland comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Karate class at Action Karate Oreland

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.
