Excelente academia de karate! Los instructores son muy profesionales, pacientes y dedicados con cada estudiante. Se nota el compromiso que tienen con la disciplina, el respeto y el crecimiento personal de los niños y adultos. El ambiente es muy agradable, seguro y motivador.
GREAT studio. Very clean & spacious!! My kids take karate classes there and love the instructor. Also they have the space available to rent for instructor which is so cool as someone who is an entrepreneur! You should check this place out! :)
Amazing place to learning karate. My son has loved coming here and has grown so much. Right beside Tijuanas in downtown Dalton.
New to Karate? Start at Christ Karate Do
Christ Karate Do comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 Christ Karate Do
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.
