From the reviews
I joined Christian karate a few years ago and have loved working out and growing physically and spiritually in a very enthusiastic and encouraging environment. I recently joined the military and I could see all the training and effort I had put in to martial arts coming through to help me excel in strength, endurance,…
My 2 boys took karate here last school year. It is fantastic. It’s family owned and run with pride & care. They are excellent with kids, providing a fun and encouraging environment full of exercise and self discipline.
I brought my daughter to Christian Karate a few years ago. At first I just watched and encouraged her but it wasn’t long before I was caught up in the energy and decided to join in on the fun. It’s been great for me. I’m 61and going to the dojo 2-3 times is the highlight of my week. I’m loathe to miss a session.
Karate is an exciting journey that requires the application of many Character Qualities, such as Endurance, Patience, Boldness and Determination. Each of these (and more) is stressed at Christian Karate Association - Cd'A.
New to Karate? Start at Christian Karate Coeur d' Alene
Christian Karate Coeur d' Alene 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 Christian Karate Coeur d' Alene
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.
