From the reviews
My son has been training at Angels Karate since he was 5 and has developed exceptional levels of confidence, physical ability, and great listening skills all of which help him in school and all aspects of life.
Great 1st class.. Got invited out from a fb add.. my 12 year old son and 4 year old daughter loved the class... We will be back...
I would not be the man I am today without the skills and discipline taught to me by Grandmanster Angel DeJesus. These classes are meant for anyone who wants to learn marital arts not merely as a way to stay active, but to grow and improve physically, mentally and spiritually for an entire lifetime.
Master Angel is an incredible (and accomplished) martial arts teacher. Not only does he develop his students physically, he introduces them to character building traits such as respect for oneself and authority, patience, personal accountability, attitude, boundaries, self-control and integrity.
New to Karate? Start at Angel's Karate Taekwondo Martial Arts Center
Angel's Karate Taekwondo Martial Arts Center comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 Angel's Karate Taekwondo Martial Arts Center
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.
