From the reviews
This is my sons 2nd year attending their after school program. I have had him in a couple different day care programs and one other local martial arts program until we found Bushi Ban. This place is run very efficiently and the kids are always kept busy and they are always being watched.
It’s difficult know to where to begin. When you are looking for a place for your child to have an outside the home source for building their character to be the best versions of themselves, this is the place to be. Grand Master Kazi has an excellent approach with the kids and adults to whom he interacts.
Bushi Ban Clear Lake is amazing! I have three children enrolled in their martial arts program and the difference in their focus, self-discipline, physical fitness, and confidence levels has been astonishing to watch.
Both of my daughters have been enrolled in Bushi Ban for 1.5 years since our family relocated to Texas. They have not only developed their skills and techniques but have grown in discipline, commitment and confidence.
New to Karate? Start at Bushi Ban Martial Arts & After School Program
Bushi Ban Martial Arts & After School Program comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Bushi Ban Martial Arts & After School Program
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.
