From the reviews
The best sensei, my son and our family are super happy to have found this dojo. He is very committed to his work, disciplined, and pleasant with everyone.
My Kids has been doing karate here since they were little, a boy now 15 and a girl now 13, And i can't thank David (the Sensei) enough for all he has done for my kids, he has helped them so much physically and emotionally, great Karate school 👍
I love the cardio kickboxing David is amazing instructor. This class will definitely exceed all expectations. You tell David your goals and he will definitely get you there.

Your first Karate class at Diaz Isshinryu Karate & Kobudo LLC
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.
