From the reviews
I love DPMA because all of the instructors are motivating and help us grow stronger and more skilled! They have helped me progress to a blue belt (testing next week for blue with a stripe). It's not only about learning karate though, they also make it a lot of fun! I highly recommend it! - Dylan (age 7)
After checking out a few places to sign my son up for martial arts, this is the place he chose. He instantly loved the energy professor Dwire had when he met with him one on one and attended a couple classes. All the teachers have been great with him including the young leaders in the skills and drills classes.
Dragon-Phoenix is the school where I learned how to be a better person. Working with Jessie helped me see the best part of myself and how to make it stronger. After all these years of life earning my black belt with his school is still one of the proudest moments I have ever lived.
My son started here last fall when he was 5 after having trouble listening in school. The program has helped him grow tremendously this past year! The teachers are fantastic with the kids and teach them more than martial arts, they learn listening and respect as well.
Your first Karate class at Dragon-Phoenix Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
