From the reviews
Excellent instruction excellent dojo. Classes are well organized and well taught. Mr. Davenport is very kind to his students and treats them all with respect. Other dojos do not compare I know I have been there and done that. We do learn self defense as well as self discipline.
I had Larry and his son as my teachers for 10 years when I was younger. They taught me so so much with patience, control and with fierce kata. Absolutely recommend him to anyone. He was a big part of my life :)
Mr Davenport is one of the finest instructors in the industry. He truly cares about his students and it shows. He has been doing martial arts over 50 years and is highly respected among his peers.
Your first Karate class at Larry Davenport Karate Studio
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.
