From the reviews
My daughter just started this month. She absolutely loves it and while tonight is only her 4th class, she's already learned quite a bit. The owner (a black belt who has many awards displayed) is very professional and genuinely passionate about his school, students and helping each achieve their personal goals.
It's been a little over 2 years now that my son has been coming to Limalama DKS and he absolutely loves it - never misses a day of class and shows the same enthusiasm every time as it was the first time.
Limalama has the best instructors, they teach the art, discipline, respect, and the love of karate. They all have become like a second family for us. Sensei Alex is the most patient instructor to very energetic toddlers.
Dearie Karate Studio is literally the most family oriented studio we ever found! Instructor Alex and his fearless sidekicks ensure the littles are learning and growing as little people. I have hardly ever met anyone as patient as Instructor Alex (I'm baffled!). HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!
Your first Karate class at Limalama DKS - Karate - Self Defense - Modern Martial Arts Santee
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.
