⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knowles Academy is truly the best of the best! The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, patient, and always willing to help students succeed. Ms. Knowles and Mrs. Knowles create a positive and supportive learning environment that makes learning enjoyable and effective.
Master Michael and his wife are very patient with children but also help discipline children when it is needed. When I mean discipline, I mean that master Michael uses the correct language and guidance for each child. Love this place.
Your first Karate class at Knowles Karate Academy
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.
