From the reviews

I own a small Shotokan dojo in Arizona, and have been doing business with Karate Mart for a couple of years. They offer a broad variety of quality products, and their customer service is incredible.

★★★★★ — Dennis, Dec 2017

I bought the one piece collapsible Bo staff. This staff is durable, heavy and exactly what you’re looking for when shopping for a collapsible staff, this will give you a superhero feel while also very concealable. It can pack a punch, collapses easily and stays extended easily.

★★★★★ — Dillon, Feb 2024

We order a pair of nunchucks for our son. They arrived quickly but we noticed that they were defective. Karate Mart was so helpful in securing a new pair and shipped it across the country in a couple of days with a personalized note! Outstanding service!

★★★★★ — Lcs, Dec 2022

Karate Mart deserves some love from me in 5 star review fashion. After placing 2 orders already with Karate Mart, I don’t see what’s not to like?! Great selection of products, quick to get purchases out in the mail, and does a great job of adding a little personal touch.

New to Karate? Start at KarateMart.com Headquarters - Online Only

KarateMart.com Headquarters - Online Only 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 KarateMart.com Headquarters - Online Only

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.
