From the reviews
I would recommend MAI and Fitness to anyone. Master Benson, his instructors and helpers are phenomenal with the students. Not only do the students learn martial arts and self-defense, but they learn self-confidence, discipline, self-restraint, respect both for themselves and others, all while having fun.
This is a really great school. The instructor is awesome and great with kids too. Very nice people, I highly recommend! A few months later: Master Benson is an excellent teacher. My gson has made so much progress in everyday life as well as the arts. I couldn't have asked for a better school.
The owner and instructors are top notch. They do so much more then teach the art they care about the kids and are the best at what they do.
Heard about this place from a friend who also takes her kids. My 6yeAr old started with no prior experience. Master benson and his daughter are amazing teachers and make it fun and educational for the kids. They break up doing form moves with fun games for the kids so they are continuously engaged.
Your first Karate class at Martial Arts Institute and Fitness
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.
