From the reviews
The last writer un-nerved me. This school is a great way to introduce Karate to everyone any age over 3yrs. My Granddaughter (12) has been going for 3 years. She was really kind of shy, slow in school work etc. Karate does what is says. Knowledge, discipline, respect, courage, etc. Just come anytime and check them out.
My wife and I joined to get back in shape..... we are getting a whole lot more. The instructors are helping us focus on our minds, our physical conditioning, and the entire group …. and hey, we are learning some self defense along the way :).

The instructors at the Karate Institute of Mentor in my opinion are world class. They have the ability to break this art and training down in a way that makes it useful and easy to learn. The other students are friendly and helpful. The Karate Institute deserves five stars!
Your first Karate class at Karate Institute of Mentor
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.
