A year and a half ago, KarateMN offered an open house to gauge the interest of students in the area. Our son had just turned five at the time, and we decided to try it. He was the youngest student at the open house and was very reserved and uncertain if this was an activity for him.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Jun 2025

After a tougher start to the school year, we decided to try putting my second grade son in karate. He needed a physical outlet. Karate mn has been a HUGE blessing. It has greatly helped with the issues we were seeing in school, helped increase my son’s concentration, confidence, and given us a better evening rhythm.

★★★★★ — Laura, Apr 2025

We love this Karate studio for my son! Master Lindahl is an excellent teacher. He is patient, attentive, and makes a point to remember all the kids' names. The studio is always very clean and tidy. The focus on respect during all classes first and foremost is valuable.

Your first Karate class at Fudoshin Martial Arts (KarateMN)

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.
