From the reviews
My daughter has so much fun learning karate with Mr. Hurley! He has a magical ability to engage with kids in a way that is fun and teaches important life skills. Discipline, focus, leadership, and more!
Noah has been doing karate the last couple of months at Insight Karate and is loving it. Noah has autism and this is 1st thing he has thoroughly enjoyed. He has not had many to no interests except special olympics until now. The instructors and other students have been excellent with him.
They are fantastic! All instructors take the time to work with each child and my daughter looks forward to her classes. Its the highlight of the week watching her learn her moves and grow in the increasing confidence she is getting!
We love Insight Karate and all the staff! Our 4 year old has been in classes for 3 months now and she enjoys it very much. She has learned so much. They are very patient and kind.
New to Karate? Start at Insight Karate
Insight Karate 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 Insight 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.
