From the reviews

Having been in martial arts for a number of years before moving to Aurora, finding a good school for my family to train together at was extremely important to me. I am so thankful that my family has found not only an outstanding martial arts school, but also essentially an “extended family.

★★★★★ — Karen, Aug 2020

When our world was turned upside down by the pandemic, Eagle Academy turned right away to technology to continue to bring karate training to all of us. The online classes have been wonderful for keeping our family moving, learning, and connected to our training.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Aug 2020

Absolutely wonderful experience. The best place to go for Martial Arts. Master Treacy and her instructors are all wonderful working with all ages. Great energy and sense of humor. Very supportive environment. I enrolled my son at Best Martial Arts when he was experiencing bullying in middle school.

★★★★★ — Jibran, Feb 2023

Master Tracy and all the masters are fantastic and very friendly. They don't only teach Marshal ata but they also teach life skills to kids and good attitude.

New to Karate? Start at Eagle Academy of Martial Arts

Eagle Academy of Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Karate class at Eagle Academy of 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.
