From the reviews

Fastkick Martial Arts has become integral to our family. My son, who is now 7, has been going there for over 3 years. He is now an orange belt in the adult program. My youngest some has been going for a year. The Doerings are like family and they help provide consistancy for our kids.

★★★★★ — Patricia, Apr 2017

My child has been going since March of this year and he has been focusing better at school and home and been calmer at school. His masters has always been kind and they don't make you buy the t-shirts, plus I understand because of insurance purposes is the reason why they want you to buy the pads from them.

★★★★★ — Jason, Aug 2020

My child has been attending fastkick for several months. I have no idea what the super negative review was about, the Doerings are some of the most professional people I've ever meet. Their little lions program has helped my son a lot over the last few months.

★★★★★ — Mark, Jun 2016

We have been taking our son to Fastkick for over a year now. As a family we all love the Doering family business. I have witnessed how much pride they have in their establishment and getting to know my son and each of the other students.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jun 2016

Your first Karate class at FastKick Martial Arts Center

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.
