From the reviews

I have been a part of The Karate Edge for 5+ years now and have appreciated every minute of it! One of the best decisions I’ve made in life is to walk through their front door. It has given me so many opportunities to learn and grow personally and through martial arts.

★★★★★ — Emma, Jun 2018

We stumbled upon Karate Edge when they had a booth at a local harvest festival. All the kids swarmed around their booth, feeding off their high-energy fun and board breaking sessions.

★★★★★ — Chrystal, Jun 2018

I drive from Auburn to Edgewood to take my daughter to Karate Edge even though there are many dojos closer as they are amazing! The instructors are very patient and helpful when they see the student struggling with any moves.

★★★★★ — Dragon, Oct 2018

My 2 boys have been attending this dojo for over 2 years now. We love the family culture. It has been such a great experience for them and they are learning core values, character development and the ability to defend themselves.

Your first Karate class at Karate Edge

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.
