From the reviews

I should’ve posted this review on the very first day that my children, Alex and Lilyana came to try it out! It’s been some years now but from the very first day we were seriously blown away by how much fun it was! We came home and we were practicing the kicks and punches and just so super excited!

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jun 2025

Both my girls have been going here for over 1 year and what a difference I've noticed in both already. They have gained so much confidence and self esteem and they feel much more at ease with how they interact with others.

★★★★★ — Michael, Jan 2025

Great school! Visited for a cross training event today. All of the students are very enthusiastic. Both adults and kids They allow genuinely seem to be having fun and enjoy the time they spend on the mats. I felt that Master Biesik truly loves his students and trains with his heart. I'd train aagain with them anytime.

★★★★★ — Bill, Oct 2025

Highly recommend! We started 2 years ago to help with focusing and listening skills. Master Biesik and Ms. Mayer are fantastic. Learning the discipline has helped not only with maturing but they way in which it is taught has helped my son’s confidence level.

New to Karate? Start at Master Biesik's Martial Arts

Master Biesik's Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Karate class at Master Biesik's Martial Arts

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
