We absolutely love Invictus. I brought my 8 year old daughter here several months ago and we have had a fabulous experience.

★★★★★ — Tasha, Jan 2023

How you I describe Invictus Martial Arts and the 3 wonderful ladies that run the dojo? Amazing ... We moved here from PHX Arizona, after taking a couple months off from the kids taking MMA classes at an ATA location there. The kids started Taekwondo at the beginning of Aug.

★★★★★ — Jason, Feb 2023

This school has completely changed my children and only for the better. It started with my youngest wanting to learn karate and then my older 2 wanted to join. My middle child is on the spectrum and is highly enjoying himself and learning so much and my oldest is becoming more confident and also learning so much more.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2025

My husband and I enrolled our son into taekwondo lessons about a year and ago at Invictus, and I joined a few months later when I saw him excelling not only athletically but also emotionally, socially, and in many other aspects of life.

Your first Karate class at Invictus Martial Arts ATA

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.
