From the reviews

Our Nephew just completed his first year of training with the LHBBA. This school belongs to the International ATA, which was very important to us when considering enrollment. Hunter was shy and timid and within a couple months we began to notice considerable changes in his self esteem and general attitude.

★★★★★ — Jim, Dec 2021

This amazing place brings back so many memories of my childhood. Before i left i was currently a black belt at the age of 10. The people who make up this dojo each and everyday always has a certain place in my heart. Everyday in and out i would work hard with my peers to become the best version of myself.

Your first Karate class at Lake Havasu Black Belt Academy LLC

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.
