From the reviews
My kids have been attending this school for a few months now and I cant say enough about how much hey love it. They look forward to every class and my husband and I love to sit and watch the class while we wait. Master Perez is great with all the children, he is full of high energy but much patience as well.
My son has been attending the karate class for a few months. He loves it and we already see him making progress. Master Perez has an excellent approach to kids and his assistants are wonderful! I highly recommend!
My son had been eager to start Karate for years, and enrolling him a year ago was one of the best decisions we've made. The staff is incredibly welcoming and kind, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere for both students and parents.
My son loves the academy so much! The instructors are awesome and in as little as a month (he is 6 years now) he was showing a lot of improvement in his coordination and in school and at home I noticed he was more focused, paying more attention to instructions or even when we were just talking to him!
New to Karate? Start at Karate America - Plantation
Karate America - Plantation 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 Karate America - Plantation
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.
