From the reviews

My 7 year really enjoyed the class. The class was made fun at the same time teaching the important values, discipline, following simple instructions while giving them basic training and workout. The staff are so friendly and very professional. They treat all their students kindly. I can see kids respect them as well.

★★★★☆ — Claire, Nov 2024

My daughter started back in May in the Little Ninjas program. It was a rough start at first but Sensei, Deshi, Miss Jess, the team, and families really helped with the transition. The atmosphere is very family-like, which put me at ease. My daughter has her moments for sure, but everyone is so patient and helpful.

★★★★★ — Davina, Jul 2024

My daughter started in the Little Ninja program when she was 4 and we loved it. She has since progressed through the basic and intermediate classes, and with the guidance of Sensei Jake and his staff, has earned a high brown belt. Sensei Jake does an outstanding job with all age groups.

★★★★★ — Jimmy, Aug 2022

Absolutely love this Studio ! I took my son too at least 3 different Karate studios before we found LVMA, my son was struggling some things at school (conference , self control and fallowing direction) putting him in this school has been the best thing for him ever.

New to Karate? Start at Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Palmer

Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Palmer 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: Palmer

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.
