From the reviews

12 years of physical and personal growth in this unbelievably well rounded program that consistently challenges me. Can't say enough about the curriculum or the dedication of the instructors. The kids program is also excellent!

★★★★★ — Chris, Jan 2019

If you are looking for an amazing place to get started or continue your journey in the martial arts, there simply is nothing that can compare with Cherokee Kajukenbo Karate in Canton, Georgia. There's something for everyone; from children to juniors to adults.

★★★★★ — Bill, Jul 2026

I have been studying with Sigung Christopher Newbury since 2009. I have found him to be an outstanding teacher, as well as a tremendous individual with extremely high moral character.

★★★★★ — Karl, Sep 2024

We couldn’t say better things about Griffins Kajukenbo! I originally wanted our ten year old to join as a way to build her confidence, and have already seen a tremendous difference in her confidence level, amongst other things. Our younger two ( 5 & 7) joined, as well, and look forward to it each week.

New to Karate? Start at Golden Eagle Kajukenbo Karate

Golden Eagle Kajukenbo Karate comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Golden Eagle Kajukenbo 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.

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.
