From the reviews
Master Castle and her team of amazing humans not only teach top notch martial arts, but they run fantastic summer camps that my kiddo is actually excited to go to! Full of fun activities and learning experiences these camps are worth every penny.
Where should I start? Master Castle and all of her staff are incredible. The reason why we started coming here we was because it was highly recommended by our friends and family. I know it’s been around for a long time, and now I understand why.

My son, Adam, has attended camps, and also has participated in the assistant instructor training program at Encinitas Karate for the past three years. He absolutely loves them! Each camp is themed, and structured making every experience exciting and unique.
Your first Karate class at Encinitas 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.
