From the reviews
My grand daughter Loves this Karate school! Excellent and knowledgeable sensei! I recommend this karate school to everyone! Take a class..try it out...you will love it! Excellent
I've trained with Sensei Bob & Lisken since I was 8 years old (34 now) and couldn't recommend them any more highly!
Cannot say enough positive things about the dojo and the team of extraordinary people behind it. My daughters life will forever we impacted by the work they do. So glad for their dedication to each student
I have been with this tremendous school for twenty years. There is no better place for me. A true community.
Your first Karate class at Elm Street 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.
