From the reviews
I HIGHLY recommend Colorado Karate Club. My son has been with them for over 5 years and it has been an incredible experience. Sensei Willy is awesome with kids, he is so positive and encouraging. Overall an amazing program! My son LOVES it!
What a way to build confidence. We have been coming for 5+ years. So much personal growth it is not just physical but mentally. Learning to be self-confident, self-aware, understanding, listening, teamwork, self reflection, and so much more. What an amazing group of people bringing the best out of each student.
Beginner getting back into it after 40+ years with a minor disability. Felt very comfortable as an older adult and greatly appreciated the warm welcoming atmosphere.
This is a quality organization. Sensei Willy and staff are great with all levels. My son is thriving at this dojo. After many years at this dojo, we would absolutely recommend this organization. It's a great place for all ages, genders and body types to try karate.
New to Karate? Start at Colorado Karate Club
Colorado Karate Club 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 Colorado Karate Club
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.
