★★★★★ — Roe151, Sep 2015

They run a great martial arts program for all ages. The style is rooted in traditional taekwondo, with elements of Karate, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu. My kids started here several years ago and I was so impressed that I started taking classes myself. The instructors are top notch and really care about their students' success.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jan 2023

My son started here in January 2015 with the after school karate program. We are SO happy that he is able to do this rather than the after school program at his school because he gets so much out of it! Not only does he have some time to get homework done, he gets a snack and has learned valuable skills and discipline.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Apr 2017

My son started here in August 2016 through the after-school karate program. We learned about it as my nephew has been attending since August 2015. We have been VERY happy with everything and everyone there. He gets picked-up at his school and then goes to the facility for a snack and homework time.

Your first Karate class at American School of Karate & Judo on Industrial

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.
