From the reviews
Martial arts is not about kicking butts. My daughter has learned more than self defense at this dojo. The family atmosphere is very welcoming. Master Kellye is a great role model especially to girls to look up to. This is an unusual place to get leadership training. My daughter is in the Demo team.
Kicking for Life a true gem! I was looking for places for my son to try karate and wasn't impressed with anything coming up on my search. A colleague mentioned Kicking for Life which happens to be right near our school and close to the house. I could not be happier. The service for the price is unbeatable.
This isn't just for kids. I'm middle aged, and taking classes here helps my confidence at work. After all, if I can do this stuff at my age, what can stand in my way?
I cannot say enough positive things about Kicking for Life. Finding the right environment for my son was crucial, especially after moving across the country. We checked out a couple other places, but as soon as my son came to Kicking for Life, we stopped looking. Master Kellye exceeded all expectations.
Your first Karate class at Kicking for Life
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.
