From the reviews
The classes help my kids with their everyday life. They are much more confident since they started this class. I have twins and my son has been working with Mr. Ramirez for over 6 years. The instructor has over 20 plus years experience in teaching. I mainly put my son in this program for self confidence.
Mr. Ramirez has one of the top notch martial arts school programs that I have seen in a long time. He has a best kids as well as adult martial arts program that I have seen. It show on how he teach his student with so much passions and charisma.
If I could give Koa Kenpo Karate ten stars, I would. This place is amazing. My kids have been attending the classes for several months already and they love it. Mr. Ramirez doesn't have to tell you that he loves what he does, you see it for yourself. You can see he pours his heart and soul when he trains his students.
What can I say that hasn't been said? Very nice and friendly instructor. My boys love coming here. Everyone who attends loves it. Fair pricing. Can't say enough great things about this place. If you're reading this cause you're considering attending, look no further. You or your kids will not be disappointed.
New to Karate? Start at LEGACY MARTIAL ARTS
LEGACY MARTIAL ARTS comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at LEGACY MARTIAL ARTS
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.
