From the reviews

What an amazing community to be a part of! My son started at East Coast Karate one month ago and is already actively participating in everything extra that he can. This week he is so excited to attend the Super Mario Parents night out event and even signed up for camp this summer.

When my daughter became bored with ballet and wanted more challenges she discovered karate. When we visited East Coast dojo I was immediately impressed. It is orderly, the senseis present, knowledgeable, professional and very good with children (of all personalities).

★★★★★ — Keith, Sep 2022

As newcomers, our family could not be more pleased with our experience thus far. Our 10 year old consistently looks forward to attending class and is always beyond enthusiastic about everything he is learning while always having an absolute blast.

★★★★★ — Emily, Jul 2021

This Dojo feels like a family while still being professional and ensuring that the kids are safe and advised well on how and when to "use their karate." The sensei speaks to the children in a way that they can understand without talking "down to them".

Your first Karate class at East Coast Karate

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.
