From the reviews

This man trained me when I was just a 5 yrs old for 10 years ! He helped me with self disapline , mental focus, and taught me self defense. What i didn't see coming was reputations of the art created reflects that where instant and followed by reaction in lighting speed with out thought.

I've never actually taken Karate lessons here, but one time I saw some adults doing some cool ninja moves with foam swords at this institute. They looked pretty legit to me. Maybe one day I'll join them.

This is a wonderful place to learn martial arts! They have after school care for children as well. The instructors are very good with children!

★★★★★ — Brandon, Feb 2017

My son goes here for after school. The price is reasonable and it includes a half hour karate class, and help with his homework.

Your first Karate class at Charles June Karate Institute

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
