Karate dojo Free trial Affiliated Kids & teens

Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews

My son (4) and daughter (6) have been going to karate here since spring and I could not be happier with our experience. Sensei Julian and the entire staff are incredible with the kids, teaching with an amazing balance of patience, discipline, safety and fun.

My family and I have been training at Elite Karate Academy for the past 8 years. It's a supportive and encouraging environment with amazing instructors. I have seen my boys grow in so many ways.

Hello. My name is Brandon. I am currently a student in college and I have been a student under Sensei Julian Secu for 9 years now. I have achieved the rank of 2nd degree under his guidance and teaching.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Aug 2025

We had an amazing experience at Elite Karate and Kickboxing Academy! Attending a class was so much fun, and the birthday party held there was an absolute hit for my two little ones (9 and 2 year old). They were engaged the entire time and had a blast learning, playing, and celebrating together.

Your first Karate class at Elite Karate and Kickboxing Academy

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.
