From the reviews

Action Karate is a great place to learn karate as well as other life lessons. It is a place where aspiring martial artists come together and work hard to improve. My daughter has been attending Action Karate for about five years now. I can easily see the difference in her from when she started karate to now.

★★★★★ — Jojan, Dec 2025

Our daughter Leah has been coming to Action Karate Jamison since before Kindergarten. Initially, we just signed up for the free month to spend more time with our friends. Even after they stopped going, she continued her karate journey and has become strong, fierce, and confident.

★★★★★ — Elise, Nov 2025

My son was invited to a birthday party back in October 23’. We were so impressed with how relaxed the parents were as the instructors make sure you don’t have to lift a finger. They do everything including entertaining, playing games and also teaching the kids basic martial arts.

★★★★★ — K, Mar 2024

My son started taking classes at Action Karate in January of 2023. The metamorphosis that we have observed has been nothing short of magnificent. He began as a less than confident boy who remained on the periphery of most situations, and over the past two and a half years, has blossomed into a confident, charismatic,…

New to Karate? Start at Jamison Action Karate

Jamison Action 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 Jamison Action 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.
