From the reviews

I have recently started training here at Dynamic Edge and it has been a wonderful experience. Age is not a factor, from kids to adults there's something for everyone. The teachers and classes are top notch and the students are all friendly and helpful. It already feels like I am part of the family!

Owners Kyle and Audrey are so great with children! My 5 year old started just recently a few months back they are very welcoming to beginners and quickly learned his name.

★★★★★ — Ivy, Dec 2023

This a program that has helped to build confidence in our children. Kyle has been a great leader for the class and has the patience needed to work with kids. I would strongly recommend taking advantage of this structured program. It helped our family and I know it would be beneficial to yours as well.

★★★★★ — Robyn, Mar 2022

We moved here a year ago and wanted to continue with karate practice. We happened upon Dynamic Edge Martial Arts and couldn’t be happier! The team building, defensive, and weapons skills are wonderful! The sensi really want my son to succeed and be the best to his potential.

Your first Karate class at Dynamic Edge Martial Arts

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
