From the reviews

My son started in the daycare program offered through his school. When he was ready to test for his yellow belt, we took him to the All Star Karate dojo. What an amazing group of people we found. Jerry and Sarah are wonderful with children and I can't think of a better instructor.

★★★★★ — Joe, Apr 2016

All Star Karate rocks! My son just celebrated his sixth birthday and one year anniversary of karate with a party at the dojo. He attends classes five days a week, sometimes multiple classes a day. Needless to say, he loves the place. The instructors, Mr. Jerry and Ms. Sarah, are great people.

★★★★★ — Colleen, Nov 2016

Great place for kids and amazing staff! The instructors are patient but firm, which is needed to for proper instruction, but they are caring and fun. Had my son and nephew here for a while for after school program and then they would go into the Karate training and it was worth every penny! Highly recommended!

★★★★★ — Erica, Dec 2020

Your first Karate class at All Star 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.
