From the reviews
Our kids have enjoyed their time at Denison Family Karate. They've not only improved and learned in martial arts skills but in social and life skills as well. Mr. Perez takes time to teach them to use their skills for "right not might" when he has mat chats about bullying, lying, stealing and more.
Denison Family Karate has been one of the best things we have ever done for our kids. They have learned so much, they have matured and become more outgoing (they used to be very shy), they have learned how to be helpful to others, putting the needs of others before their own.
Our daughter has been attending classes at Denison Family Karate for over three years since she won a free month as a prize in an essay contest. By the end of the month she was hooked and so were we. It was easy to see that Mr.
My son has been with this school for over 7 years. This school is managed extremely efficiently. Classes begin and end promptly on time.

Your first Karate class at Denison Family 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.
