From the reviews
I wish I would have enrolled our children sooner! We have two very active children that were a bit defiant and wild. One was struggling socially and one desperately needed structure and discipline! After about 4 weeks of karate 3-4 days a week noticed a REMARKABLE improvement in school and at home.
My daughter was very shy and not outgoing at all. She would not participate with others. She was also very afraid of dogs. Since she’s been at Koei Kan Karate she has done a complete 180 turn around it took her some time but this has been life changing. Not only does she love it we love it too.
I love this place, it’s family friendly! My nephew and daughter are both attending and are very active. Tony Becerra is awesome! He’s got such great experience with kids and is always very nice and always has a smile on his face. Come and bring the kids!
My big kids did 10 years of karate when we lived down in San Diego; so, I am no stranger to the dojo. After trials and tribulations at other locations here in SB, I finally found the perfect professional karate environment for my six year old. I look forward to many prosperous years at Koei Kan Karate-Santa Barbara🥋
Your first Karate class at Koei Kan Karate-Santa Barbara
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.
