“There is a lot of focus on form but also in doing different exercises to work the various muscle groups you use to strike with while putting an emphasis on cardio.”
“This approach has worked well for my daughter, and I see a difference in her focus in class AND outside of class also.”

From the reviews
My daughter has been taking lessons at Kime Karate for almost 2 years now. The program has really helped with her focus! Sensei Keyes' approach makes the classes fun, but the kids are learning the whole time. The children's classes are truly kid-centric & really help the students to grow.
Both of my daughters attend Kime Karate and I am very pleased with the program. Sensei Aric Keyes is a talented instructor. I appreciate that he is always on the floor working with the students, rather than huddled in the business office as is the case at some other dojos.
When I first joined Kime Karate. I was worried I would be too far behind the other students, and that I would be unable to keep up. This was coming from a 14 year old! Soon after I joined however, I felt welcome and I still enjoy the friendly atmosphere that Sensei Keyes creates.

Your first Karate class at Fairport Karate Classes
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. 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.
