From the reviews
I absolutely love what this program is doing for my child. I won't lie it's rather expensive. I'm a working mother and money is tight. I was very upset about affordability at first. After watching my child's personal growth I 100% believe the program is worth the price. Sure they are learning physical skills.
My daughter has been at Cosen's for almost 2 years and was having trouble in school. Since joining Cosen's, she has gained focus, self esteem, and self control. Thank you to all of the past coaches and the current coaches for everything. This girl loves karate thanks to you!!
I cannot recommend this place enough for positivity, knowledge, and taking in all skill levels! A friend and myself came in completely new to the sport, having NEVER done anything like MMA as a kid or an adult. We signed up to learn some basics of defense and get outside of our comfort zone in 2023.
My daughter started at Cosens through a program with her school. It was for a physical education requirement. She loved the classes. Currently as of this review she is a green belt with every intention of getting her black belt. Her coordination has improved dramatically.
New to Karate? Start at Cosens MMA LLC
Cosens MMA LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Cosens MMA 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.
