From the reviews
I signed up my son a couple of years ago and could not be more pleased. Since my son started at the Authentic Karate Training Center he's become a lot more confident and outgoing. Sensei and Ms.
I can’t say enough good things about Chip and his team at Authentic Karate. My 5 year old has been taking karate there for over a year now and it has been a wonderful experience for him.
My 11-year old daughter joined the Authentic Karate Training Center over a year ago and has had an extremely positive experience. Not only is the Training Center diligent about teaching each karate move properly, it is also diligent about holding its students to a high level of personal conduct.
If you are looking to have your child enrolled in a dojo, look no further. Authentic Karate has been a tremendous find for our family. Both of our daughters (ages 7 and 4) attend Authentic Karate and we have been impressed every step of the way.
Your first Karate class at Authentic Karate Training 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.
