★★★★★ — Dennis, Feb 2021

Went today for a self defense class. I learned so much in two hours. I can use this information to keep myself safe and my daughter safe. Ramsey was amazing. He was kind, but he was serious about what he was teaching you so that you could truly get away from someone if you had to.

★★★★★ — Kris, Nov 2023

I had a wonderful time attending a kempo class - as someone who had no prior martial arts experience the sensei broke down skills well to help me better understand something I had never done before. Everyone in the class was very friendly and welcoming! I will be happy to attend classes in the future.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Nov 2024

I held off reviewing Impulse Martial Arts until I had attended training long enough to form a valid opinion. After 4 months, I am confident that my initial enthusiasm for actually being taught Ju-Jutsu hasn't biased my evaluation.

New to Karate? Start at Impulse Martial Arts

Impulse 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 Impulse 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 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.
