From the reviews
We had an amazing time with Sean and his team at Karate Oconee! Burn Bootcamp hosted a self defense training with KO and it was such a great experience! We learned so much and trained so much! I genuinely feel safer with the knowledge gained at this class! Highly recommend!
My three kids are learning so much in the classes and their discipline at home has started to improve at home too. It is a perfect learning environment where the instructors are committed to putting in as much as child brings to the table.
Our journey begin in 2021, when our daughter Mia was in kindergarten. Mia was an introvert and had a hard time setting boundaries with her classmates. We started with a promotional trial. Since day one, Mr. Dempsey took care of Mia. He is polite,understanding, and respectful. He is also playful with the students.
We have had a terrific experience as a whole family. We began with our 2 daughters, aged 9 and 7 taking lessons about 6 months ago. After a little while, I got the bug as well and began taking the adult classes. Borders is a great operation!
Your first Karate class at KARATE OCONEE & KRAV MAGA
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.
