From the reviews
Excellent place for young ones to begin their Karate experience. Discipline and respect are a huge part of the program. I was impressed that at any age, they must earn their advancement stripes on their belt by proving their ability. Nothing is given arbitrarily. They must prove they’ve learned their set.
My boys have participated in GL Kenpo for over 3 years and everytime I walk through the doors there is a welcoming, family atmosphere. Graham and his instructors take each of their students and really take the time to get to know them and help them to make sure they know what they are doing and why they are doing it.
The people here are amazing at what they do and what they teach. The dojo is such a positive place to be and everyone's so encouraging. A great place for learning.
World class Instructors, literally people come from around the globe just to study under this Sensei.
Your first Karate class at Glkenpo karate
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.
