From the reviews
Don't look anywhere else. You will find more than amazing Martial Arts instruction here. You will find true mentors for your children and entire family in Master Chewning and his incredible staff.
Four years ago, I brought in my 10 yr old daughter who was, at the time, struggling with low muscle tone (strength) and self-esteem. Fast forward four years. She is now a 2nd degree level 1 black belt who smashes wood. 😂 Her confidence has soared.
Master Chewning and his team of instructors have really challenged our daughters in their martial arts journey. We came to Get RAW from another dojang in Lexington in January 2020 and haven't regretted that decision even through pandemic induced alterations.
Words cannot describe what Master Chewning and his academy mean for my family. We were introduced by a classmate's birthday party and have been "hooked' ever since. My kids are getting life lessons, not just physical activity and self defense classes.
Your first Karate class at Brian Chewning’s GetRaw 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.
