From the reviews
We absolutely LOVE Martial Arts America. We go to the Penfield branch but there are locations in Webster and Brighton as well. The senseis are amazing! My son is almost 13, has his certified black belt, and has been attending since he was around 6 years old.
This has been a wonderful experience! Fun, good place to make friends and sense of community. Our child has been going here for a couple years since Dragon (preschool). It is the best karate dojo in Rochester, NY!
My daughter has been attending the Martial Arts America Penfield karate courses for well over a year at this point. Sensei Kelly and Sensai Sean are absolutely wonderful. They are patient, kind teachers that bring so much positive energy to the kids.
Both of my boys absolutely love the Penfield Dojo! We have been a karate family for the last few years and my kids have grown so much during that time. Sensei Kelly and her team are the best! They all work really hard to make the kids feel comfortable while also challenging them.
Your first Karate class at Martial Arts America Penfield
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.
