From the reviews
We love this Karate school. My daughter has been attending classes there since she was in kindergarten, and is now in the 4th grade with a purple belt. We wanted our daughter to do a physical activity while learning to defend herself and this has been the best decision we could have made.
My girls have been learning from and training with Instructor Ed for 5 years and they absolutely love coming to their Karate classes. Instructor Ed is truly 1 in a million. He teaches more than karate and self-defense, he teaches these kids to have and show Modesty, Courtesy and Integrity in their daily lives.
I've known Instructor Ed Hernandez since I was a young kid and he was one of my instructors till the war in the middle east had to deploy him but over 20 years later, my son trains at the school of Western Dragons AkA Ed Hernandez Karate School. He cares for his students , the parents that I met I became friends with.
My daughters have been attending karate with Instructor Ed for over a year. They have grown to enjoy Karate because Instructor Ed makes the class fun, educational, and train his students with high expectations. We look forward to our girls continuous growth in karate.
Your first Karate class at Ed Hernandez 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.
