From the reviews

From Mr. Young to Mr. Lopez, Ms. Gilmour, Ms. Jasmin and Ms. Gonzalez, they exemplify what it means to be a good teacher. They are respectful and disciplined but kind and understanding as well. They have a sense of humor and their playful but structured attitude with the little ones is the perfect balance.

★★★★★ — Vance, Sep 2018

My son has been at this School for over 4 years. The quality of training and environment is excellent. Thanks to Mr. Lopez’s and Mr. Young’s leadership, my son has now reached his black belt, which in turn has helped my son built confidence and become a role model to other children in and out of school.

★★★★★ — Diego, Jun 2020

Hello, everyone. My name is Alexander and i've been training in this school for a year and a half. Just so you know, I have Autism and training here has been helping me with my self control and discipline. Not only in martial arts, but out in regular school and at home. I highly recommend training here, Mr.

★★★★★ — Alexander, Jan 2023

It's good if you have a lot of money. It got way too expensive. Honestly, before it got expensive, it was a great karate school with awesome senseis.

New to Karate? Start at Karate America West Palm

Karate America West Palm 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 West Palm

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.
