The classes they run
“Now, years (decades, lol) later, if he was still in the Sacramento area, all of my kids would have trained with him as well!”

From the reviews
Sensei Crose is AMAZING! The heart he has for Karate, the gift he has in teaching it and the fact that he has respect for others and integrity are just a few of the many reasons you should go check out his school! I trained under him and was pushed to the best of my ability!
Sensei John Crose is highly experienced and incredibly patient, tailoring his instruction to each individual's abilities. Sensi John Crose pays attention to even the smallest details, explaining the movements and their meaning, which deepens understanding.
Sensei John Crose is the best of the best! He has the experience, the patience and the enthusiasm to teach students of all levels and ages. He helped me when I trained for World Championships and it was the exact training I needed for this world event - and I came back with gold! Thank you Sensei Crose.
Sensei Crose is an exceptional instructor who patiently challenges his students to strive for, and attain excellence not only in practice of traditional karate but also in life. It was my honor and pleasure to be his student. I have never seen a sensei who was his has equal since I moved away.
Your first Karate class at Livermore School of Karate
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.
