I LOVE Genbu-Kai My boyfriend was a student there when we met and he got me into it! All of the instructors are understanding and friendly! Sensei Moore is great at explaining techniques and terminology so that the whole class understands it and all of the Senpais are well equipped to train all of the rest of us…

★★★★★ — Faith, Jun 2020

While looking for a dojo in West Palm Beach , I went to many looking for a traditional japanese rooted martial arts school , many were not up to par for what I was looking for until I came across Genbu Kai with sensei Moore and his team.

★★★★★ — Pedro, May 2025

Came to this new martial arts family with a varied experience training in Korean Taekwondo and Okinawa Karate styles, my purpose to explore the world of Kobudo. Was welcomed by a warm, energetic and diverse group of individuals in terms of age and martial arts backgrounds held together by an equally inspiring Sensei…

Your first Karate class at Genbu-Kai Karate of Florida

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.
