From the reviews

Excellent martial arts studio, sensei, and students! I have practiced there from age 12 to 18. Learned valuable discipline, life skills, athleticism, self confidence and kempo skills while making lifelong friends. Highly recommend to people of all ages and skill levels.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jun 2021

One of the best things I ever did for my kids. Aside for the physical and mental health benefits their academic performance has improved by implementing the philosophy learned in Kempo to their school work. Master Panetta is amazing with children.

Your first Karate class at American Kempo 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.
