From the reviews

The instructors at BLK not only know karate - They KNOW KIDS!! They are patient and friendly - kids thrive with discipline, but feel valued! I love this studio and how well they work with my 5 year old.

★★★★★ — Koleton, Aug 2017

Miss Kristin was so good with my boys. They loved going to karate and they learned quite a bit quickly. She made it fun for them while still teaching discipline, control, and other karate techniques!

Your first Karate class at Bobby Lawrence 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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
