From the reviews
Lehigh ValleyMartial Arts has been amazing for my son! He started as a four year old and had not attended any day care or preschools prior to starting little ninjas.
We love LVMA Fogelsville, they have become a second family to us!! You can't find any other program that is for both kids and adults, that teaches the skills and levels of karate along with incorporating core values within the same program!!
Highly recommended! Sensi Erica is wonderful and truly cares for each and every student. My 4 year old son (soon to be 5) has done so great working with Joshu Josh who is awesome with all the little ninjas.
My son loves training at LVMA. The teachers have helped him accomplish his goals and develop good character on and off the mat. LVMA has become his second family. He looks up to many of the older students who have tutored him over the years.
New to Karate? Start at Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Fogelsville
Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Fogelsville 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 Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Fogelsville
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.
