From the reviews
Our son began karate when he was 4, and through this program, he learned a profound sense of discipline and self-control. For 8 years, he had a place to exercise, socialize, and immerse himself into the karate world. We are so thankful for the owners Brian and Lisa and all of the Senseis!
Bozeman Karate is amazing! When I joined over 8 years ago, I quickly realized it would become a part of my life forever. Not only do they offer incredible martial arts instruction and physical training, but also the opportunity to grow in all aspects of life.
Bozeman Karate is a wonderful place. My 5.5 year old daughter and I both started taking classes here about 1.5 years ago and have been incredibly thankful to have found this dojo.
My son has gotten stronger, gained confidence, and has demonstrated respect more in just a little over 6 months with Bozeman Karate. All of the Senseis have been excellent! Billing and communication has been clear. We would recommend this dojo to any of our friends and family.
Your first Karate class at Bozeman 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.
