From the reviews
The best traditional Japanese (JKF, WUKO) dojo in Connecticut; including kata, bunkai, sparring, self defense, and weapons (bo, sai, tambo, tonfa, katana, and nunchaku). No contract needed. No guaranteed black-belts. Go at your own pace. Karate on Mon,Tues, Thur, and Sat.
I've been attending karate classes with my son (now 7) for the past year. The sensei is very kind and knowledgeable. It is a great community with many black belts very willing to help teach new students. Children and adults practice together, which really adds to the traditional feel and to the sense of community.
Your first Karate class at Hidy Ochiai Washin-Ryu Karate Middletown
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.
