From the reviews
We practice Karate here as a family. Great instructors who volunteer their time. The price is significantly lower compared to other martial art dojos in town. We have improved our strength, flexibility, coordination, and of course, karate a ton! Practices are M, W, F 630pm. You can try out a class for free.

We love the reasonably priced and high quality care the teachers provide at AMAC. Our kids have taken classes the last 10 years with Miss Amy and we couldn't be happier to continue to enroll them. Our kids learn the program, along with discipline, manners, and gain lifelong friendships.
Your first Karate class at Alaska Moving Arts Center/ Shotokan Karate Club
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.
