From the reviews
Enrolling our 7 y.o. autistic, hyperactive son at Evergreen Karate was one of the best decisions we ever made for him. He is autistic, hyperactive, has learning delays, and motor planning difficulties.
A truly amazing Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu community! I’ve been training at Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu for about a year and a half, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most supportive and friendly BJJ programs I’ve ever experienced.
The Little Dragons class (4-6 yrs) is a great place to get your wiggles out. The tuition covers unlimited classes within that class group so for Little D's it is 3 times per week. The class sizes range from night to night depending on how many kids show up.
It has been such a blessing to have a dojo like Evergreen Karate in our lives. With focus on character development as well, we've been able to see massive strides of improvement in our son with ADD.
New to Karate? Start at Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu
Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu
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.
