From the reviews
I have been training with the incredible instructors at this school for fifteen years and it has changed my life completely. If you are looking for professionalism, discipline, and life-changing training, this is the dojo for you.
2024: My martial arts journey started 2 years ago and I was at first inspired by my daughter's desire to begin at Kempo Martial Arts, so I joined to see where this would take me. To say that my expectations have been surpassed is an understatement.
It started with my oldest who joined Kempo during her summer of 2nd grade. She continued till she graduated HS with their black belt. I joined around my early 40's and now a Candidate in my early 50's. During my time at Kempo, I have gained strength mentally and physically.
It's been 8 months since my daughter started going to Kempo martial art of Lindenhurst. And she absolutely enjoys and loves it a lot. And as a parent this is the main thing we want when we put our kids in this kind of classes. And the reason for this is the absolute professionalism and value of all the staff.
New to Karate? Start at Kempo Martial Arts of Lindenhurst
Kempo Martial Arts of Lindenhurst 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 Kempo Martial Arts of Lindenhurst
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.
