From the reviews
This is a great karate school for children and men and women of all ages. This instruction is founded in traditional principals of Wado Ryu karate with a focus on real-world self-defense. The staff and the entire student body, including the parents, are just great people. I highly recommend giving DDKS a try!
Absolutely wonderful place. My kids feel at home and are constantly challenged to be better versions of themselves each and every class.
Everybody is very kind and profesional.My son has been at this academy for about 7 months and I can see his progress and all the good things he has learned.
Your first Karate class at David Deaton Karate
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.
