From the reviews

Have known Sensei for over 15 years and I can assure you that he is the best of the best. You'll not only learn the beautiful style of Isshin Ryu karate but practical self-defense methods for all ages. This is not your typical "fast food" karate dojo like you find everywhere else.

My Sensei’s is cool, funny, and he is great with kids, and if you have a brat that needs to behave send them to him!

★★★★★ — Gabby, Sep 2022

We have attended American Blackbelt Karate since 2009, and Sensei Jeff Davidson still amazes me with his ability to connect with any student, under any circumstances, and help them grow and learn. I have seen so many improve not only their karate abilities, but their coordination, strength, and self-confidence.

★★★★★ — April, Mar 2018

To start, I’ve been attending this dojo since before I can remember, the skills and discipline I have learned here are apart of my every day life. My Sensei is an amazing teacher and will teach you or your child in the best way that you or they learn.

New to Karate? Start at American Blackbelt Martial Arts

American Blackbelt Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 American Blackbelt Martial Arts

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.
