Talk about an activity that the kids won't get bored of! My 11 year old son is in his 4th year here and STILL looks forward to going to class. There is no fight to get ready and most of the times he reminds US that it's time to go!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Aug 2021

Since starting our training under Grand Master Jo and his team of committed black belt instructors in early November 2021, my son Aidan (13) and I (51) have and continue to thoroughly enjoy our ongoing journey, both physically and spiritually, towards earning our black belt.

★★★★★ — Bud, Aug 2022

Elite Toma was a great decision that we made for our daughter. Not only is she learning martial arts, she is also learning to be the best version of herself while also showing respect and self-discipline.

Your first Karate class at Elite TOMA Martial Arts 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.
