From the reviews
We have been with DKC for the past 4 years and my sons have grown in so many ways because of Mr. Danner and his staff. He has taught them karate skills that include focus, self-discipline, respect and even good manners! He has a teaching style that has a great balance between learning karate and having fun.
One of the most knowledgeable men when it comes to Wado Ryu karate. His years of dedication to the art come out in each lesson, and he pushes his students and others to be the best they can be from techniques to nutrition. He's also got a stellar sense of humor, making each class informative and entertaining.
I took from him way back in the early 90's. He's still going strong, to this day, with his teaching of Wado-ryu.
Your first Karate class at Danner Karate Center
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.
