From the reviews
I have been a student for over eight years and my experience has been amazing. The style of teaching here under Master Sampson and the other wonderful sensei’s, can best be described with three words- mind, body and spirit.
Great studio! My son has been taking classes here for over 3 years, since he was 3.5. The program has been amazing in both making him physically stronger and teaching him patience and focus, which has translated wonderfully for school and other activities.
Love this studio! Master Sampson and Sensei Bryce are great with younger kids. They're patient, kind, and adapt well to different learning styles. They do a mix of 1:1 teaching and group classes to ensure the students are continuously challenged, while mastering different forms.
This studio is amazing! My son started at 4 years old. A friend recommended them to help with his confidence as he was shy and easily emotional. Master Sampson and Sensei Bryce have been patient, strong, kind, and incredible teachers. My son is 6 now and goes to each group and private class with so much excitement.
Your first Karate class at Brentwood Martial Arts
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.
