From the reviews

As parents we highly recommend All American Karate! Our two daughters (9 & 6) started karate in Dec '23 and they have been enjoying it very much and have been positively impacted by each and every class. The instructors are so positive and engaging!

★★★★★ — Jessica, May 2024

We kind of decided on a whim to check out All American Karate. I’m so glad we walked through those doors because now every time we do I leave with my heart so full seeing how much my boys grow from week to week. In just 3.5 months I’ve seen such a growth in their character.

★★★★★ — Tiah, Jul 2025

This is a member of the Stein family. Since joining this karate school my self esteem has skyrocketed, I began exercising more and I became more empathetic towards the other side than I have ever been. I feel like I have matured a thousand fold with the help of this place.

★★★★★ — Aidan, Jan 2022

We started going to All American Karate in August 2024 because our granddaughter wanted to learn karate. She soon fell in love and now has a goal of earning her black belt. The instructors are amazing and have become more like extended family members. They know all kids names and their families.

New to Karate? Start at All American Karate

All American Karate 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 All American 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.
