From the reviews

Sensei Tristan is so much more than an awesome martial arts teacher. He is such a strong role model and support system for these kids. They learn so much about themselves and how to grow into amazing humans in addition to all of the skills, physical and mental, that come with martial arts.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jul 2021

Sensei Tristan is a phenomenal teacher, role model, and friend to my son. He’s extremely patient and engaging and enjoys the interactions he has with young people. He’s very knowledgeable and has so many different approaches to convey information.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Aug 2022

The instructor is very good with kids and good with showing forms. Sensi does do a good job showing young kids how to practice their kata forms.

★★★★★ — Mkbat, Feb 2023

One of the best Martial Art places around. Tristan has been training my two children for awhile now and they love him as their Sensi. Tristan listens, helps, understands the kids and adults, wonderful personality and all around a great instructor.

New to Karate? Start at Future Martial Arts

Future Martial Arts 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 Future Martial Arts

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.

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.
