From the reviews
This dojo is top tier! My teenager has been attending this location for more advanced lessons. Sensei Anthony is not your average instructor. He is tough and commanding, but has such a positive and powerful influence on all his students, from kids to adults.
AMA NORTHLAND I've had an amazing experience training/ spectating at AMA Karate! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and focused on personal growth.
My kids absolutely love this dojo. They train four times a week, and I’ve seen such a huge difference since they started. We’ve tried a few other places before, but this is the first dojo where I’ve seen real improvement, and it started within the very first week.
We’ve been part of Aplomb Martial Arts in North Kansas City for over 2 years now, as a father and daughter, and it’s been an incredible experience. This dojo is much more than just a place to learn karate — it’s a place to train both body and mind.
Your first Karate class at Aplomb Martial Arts KC North
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.
