From the reviews

My son Reid attended LVMA for a year and a half, and enrolling him was the best decision we made. Reid is on the Autism spectrum and had undiagnosed ADHD until recently.

Hi! I had to come back and share more of the journey at LVMA Trexlertown. If you are thinking about starting something, just know you gain more than learning karate. You gain a family that will help you and your child grow healthy habits! Sensei and the Deshi's have been such a positive influence on my child.

★★★★★ — Renee, Jul 2025

My 3-year-old absolutely loves the Ninja class! The instructors are amazing with young kids—patient, encouraging, and full of energy. They make learning fun while teaching important skills like listening, focus, balance, and coordination. I’ve already noticed a big boost in his confidence and independence.

★★★★★ — Summia, Aug 2025

Our son came to LVMA about 3.5 years ago (post Covid). At the time, he was being bullied in middle school and had very low self-esteem. We struggled to find a place where our son could be a kid, make friends, and learn to defend himself (mentally, emotionally, physically). LVMA was and is that place.

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

Lehigh Valley Martial Arts: Trexlertown 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: Trexlertown

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.
