From the reviews
My 3 children have been attending the Brighton Dojo for six months, and love it. I have been pleasantly surprised to see them all grow in confidence and initiating positive social interactions as well the benefits of physical activity that I expected when we signed up.
My daughter started going here as soon as she turned 4. I put my daughter in here in hopes it would help with her focus and discipline. As a new 4 year old she has a very short attention span. From day 1 to now I see a major difference. At first she was bouncing around, and losing focus quick.
We love MAA! All the senseis have good rapport with our kids; they strike a good balance of fun, discipline, attention, and flexibility. The kids had so much fun that the adults in our family decided to join, too!
All of the instructors are great, especially Sensei Matt and Sensei Kelly and Sensi mike It’s great investment to teach your kids life skills like discipline and confidence.
Your first Karate class at Martial Arts America
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.
