From the reviews
My kids love going to UPKUDO! The instructors are caring and professional. Amazing place!!!
Alpha Upkudo and all their instructors provide top notch family oriented training. Not just the punch and kick motions of martial art but the life lessons and respect that we should all strive to master.
I was skeptical about training and learning Karate at first. However, after going the first day I joined; it was GREAT! Everyone in the dojo is so helpful. The instructors love to inform and teach. If you’re looking to learn self defense, karate, or just want to help stay physically and mentally fit….
My fiancé and stepson started going to Alpha Upkudo about 2 years ago and they quickly became family there. I also started taking the kickboxing classes there (awesome!) and when our son is old enough to start there, we will put him in there as well. My fiancé loves everyone there and they all push and help each other.
Your first Karate class at Alpha Upkudo 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.
