Mr. Parth is an excellent instructor he breaks down the material so anyone can understand. I have come to love karate thanks to his teaching! The other instructors who help him on a weekly bases are fun and always encouraging. They will gladly lend you a hand when needed.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Aug 2020

My son is autistic and has social anxiety but Master Parth and his patience and an ability to work with young kids has built his focus and ability to learn. We thought he would have a problem with Karate but he is focused and determined to learn now.

Freedom Martial Arts & Fitness is an excellent studio! Master Parth truly leads by example with an unwavering commitment to the art, the students, and the community. Respect, discipline, perseverance, and patience are only a short list of values that are being modeled, reinforced, and instilled into all participants.

Your first Karate class at Freedom Martial Arts & Fitness, Inc.

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.
