From the reviews

Cosens is a phenomenal place to train. I plan on taking my nieces and nephews here when they get a little older. The instructors are friendly, professional, and teach well. I been training at Cosens for over a year now and they always have new things to teach us.

★★★★★ — Jesse, Nov 2023

The coaching staff in Saginaw has worked tirelessly with my kids to teach them some of the most important life skills and in the process give them the physical skills to protect themselves and others from those who may try and hurt them.

★★★★★ — Jeremy, May 2024

Our children have been attending Cosens classes for over three years, and the positive impact on them has been remarkable. The Cosens program is not only engaging but also deeply respectful, fostering an environment where discipline and focus are balanced perfectly with fun and enthusiasm.

★★★★★ — Rick, May 2024

Cosens Martial Arts is a great path to follow if you’re a beginner like myself, my first two days of one on one training with coach Garcia showed me the untapped potential that I didn’t know I had.

★★★★★ — Jason, Feb 2026

Your first Karate class at Cosens Martial Arts Saginaw LLC

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.
