Training with Mr. Turner has been a real journey for me — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. When I first started learning karate, I thought it was just about defending myself. But through his teaching, I realized it was way deeper than that. Mr.
My son has been taking this class for a couple months, and he really enjoys it! This is not a child that's easily impressed, but he speaks well of the class and instructor. Plus, for $30....that's a steal!!! I hope this class continues! Totally worth it.
Your first Karate class at Karate Of Dallas Seiwakai
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.
