From the reviews
If you want your kid to achieve more than a belt in karate then there is no better place than CKA. I am so happy that my son participates in competitive karate tournaments because of CKA's excellent preparation and training for tournaments.
It is a very exceptional place to learn karate me and my brother started in the summer of 2022 and even on the first day we felt like we have been coming here for many years. The coaches are very intuitive, fun, and create a homely environment and learning. It is hands down the best place to learn.
This dojo has amazing coaches and lets students achieve their true potential. The learning here can be seen all around throughout all ages and skill levels. If you are looking forward to having a great place to learn or practice karate, then this is the place for you.
I had an amazing experience with this dojo. My son is attending classes here and the progress they've made is remarkable. The instructors are highly skilled in karate, but they are also incredibly patient, supportive, and dedicated towards each student.
Your first Karate class at Champion Karate Academy
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.
