From the reviews

My 6 year old son has been training here for about 6 months. He now loves Karate. As a parent, I love the way Sensei Johnson holds the students to a high standard, has control of the class, and yet makes it positive and fun. She intends for her students to be disciplined in class as well as in the community.

I attended this dojo since I was 7 and received my junior black belt at the age of 17. It was the best decade of my life. The staff was amazing. Sensei Taylor was a wonderful instructor. I learned great discipline, safe awareness, & a TON of self-defense techniques. It was hard work, but a lot of fun!

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Nov 2020

If you are looking for a local karate dojo for your child(ten), I need to give a MASSIVE shout out/recommendation for Taylor Martial Arts. I truly cannot speak highly enough about our experience with them. They so clearly care about the whole child, not just the physical.

★★★★★ — Life, Aug 2021

My 5yr old started here a month ago and it’s been absolutely amazing. The sensei’s are so wonderful with the young kids and teach them so much! They take time with each child and I can’t even believe how they remember all these kids names so fast, lol.

Your first Karate class at Daniel Taylor Karate Training

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.
