From the reviews
I have been training at Central Karate LA for the past six months, and I am incredibly impressed with this school. The instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they provide clear, detailed instruction that has helped me to make significant progress in my training.
I wasn't quite sure what to think about my special needs son joining karate. I had heard that martial arts would be good for him, but would Tang Soo Do be the right one. Ten months later I can say for certain that it was! His core strength has improved tremendously.
My Son and I have been training here for 2 1/2 years. Great friendly place. Helping kids build confidence, discipline and respect. Awesome for Adults as well. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else but with my Tang Soo Do Family. TANG SOO!!!!
My son has been attending Central Karate for over a year and we love it. It is like family and I love the instructors. They have taught him so much more than just kicking and punching, they teach respect, self control, and discipline but in such a fun environment that he loves going. Tang Soo Do
Your first Karate class at Central Karate LA, LLC
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.
