An outstanding group of instructors, who meet and instruct the kids from where they are. As well as learning Karate, I have noticed the kids learning respect and self discipline in a very well organized and warm environment.

Great karate school! The instructors are amazing, patient, skilled, and truly care about the students. My child has gained so much confidence, discipline, and focus since joining. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Lorena, Aug 2025

I was a member of Kicks Karate since I was 4 years old and ended up receiving my black belt at 11 years old. I returned to karate at the Urbana location and have considered it my second home for a while. The management of the Urbana location is wonderful.

Your first Karate class at Kicks Karate - Urbana

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.
