From the reviews
This school is a great learning environment for kids. Your kids will learn discipline, how to be respectful, and self-defense. You will see improvements every week in their technical skill and in their confidence. As an adult, training here is challenging but rewarding.
I found American Warrior Karate after being away from martial arts for about 15 years. I got my black belt in high school but stopped training right around finishing college. I had potential as sport Karate competitor but never fully realized it.

I have been involved in martial arts for over 50 years. I have known Sensei Steve Wray of AWK for 25 years. I took my own son to Sensei Steve, to learn quality sport karate. He excelled due to the quality instruction of Steve Wray.
Your first Karate class at American Warrior 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.
