From the reviews
Our son has been taking lessons here for 2.5 years now and we absolutely LOVE it! Shane and Melanie are excellent instructors! They make it fun for the kiddos while also maintaining the importance and structure of what they are doing!
I wouldn’t go any where else except here. The Sensei is funny and is an amazing teacher of Taekwondo, while still making sure you follow the rules, and take the well-being of you and the class seriously.
We absolutely love it here it’s amazing the program and staff do great with my kids getting them to learn at their pace. My boys love it!
Our son has been attending Lewis Martial Arts for roughly two years now. I cannot say enough good things about the instructor(s), Mr. Lewis and Ms. Betz. These two go above and beyond for the children each and every day. The after school care is a huge plus too. Mr.
New to Karate? Start at Lewis Martial Arts
Lewis 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 Lewis 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.
