From the reviews
My grandson loves taking Karate classes there. He has finally found his niche. It is teaching him great discipline , balance and strength. His Sensi is a great teacher. I recommend all children to take these classes. Thankyou Mr. Pelusi. 🤗
This was my daughter's 1st year attending classes for the Pink class (3-4 yr olds) and she loved it! The teachers are very sweet,knowledgeable, and caring. Definitely recommend if your looking to put your little one in a beginner dance class!
This is my daughters second year here. The dance instructor is great with children. She has fun
I took karate with Sensei Pelusi when I was younger! It had been years and I still remember many of the things he has taught me which has been of help to me through my high school years. I am extremely thankful to have had him as my first martial arts sensei! He raises the bar very high!
Your first Karate class at DeSoto Karate and Dance
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.
