From the reviews
The owner and the instructors here go out of their way to make sure you learn and you have a great experience. There is no pressure of pushing people into signing up with classes. The students are also very friendly. I highly recommend this place.
My son started here 5 years ago when we moved to Chatsworth and this place changed my son for the better in so many ways. When he began, he was shy and had a very difficult time making friends.
I have been training here for almost 7 years. The instructors are excellent. I have learned from them, and higher ranking practitioners who are always helpful in preparing for tests. I am a 73 year old Vietnam Vet. I have previously trained when I was young learning Shotokan Karate, Kenpo Karate, traditional Jiu-Jitsu.
We have been here for more than 10 years.. started with my son in dragons program .. now both my kids and I in classes! Americas best is like a family! Amazing and professional instructors and staff!
New to Karate? Start at Americas Best Chatsworth Karate and Krav Maga
Americas Best Chatsworth Karate and Krav Maga 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 Americas Best Chatsworth Karate and Krav Maga
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.
