From the reviews
We’ve had such a great experience with this karate school. The instructors are absolutely amazing with kids, including my daughter. From the moment we started, it was clear that they genuinely care about every child who walks through the door.
We’ve been with Manchester Karate Studio for about four months now, and it has been such an amazing experience for our family! My child looks forward to his two weekly classes and is always excited to go.
My daughter started Karate at 4 and it has been her happy place for almost a year. The positive encouragement and the focus on goals have been a game changer in our house. The instructors are so caring and wonderful with all kids.
Our son (Ryan) really enjoys learning karate at Manchester Karate studio! They keep the kids engaged with multiple ways to earn stripes/stars. He also loves showing his new stripes/stars to his favorite instructors - which shows how proud he is of getting them. All the staff is amazing!
Your first Karate class at Manchester Karate Studio
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.
