From the reviews
My son began training here since he was 8 years old without knowing anything about karate. Thanks to Matsumura & Sensei Samantha, he has grown a passion for this sport. Matsumura has taught him strength, discipline, patience and leadership. We 100% recommend this place.
My 3 kids have been part of the Matsumura family for over 4 years. They love everything about it, even when the workout is hard because they know it will make them stronger. Sensei Samantha is amazing and will work with them at their level.
MY SON IS SPECIAL NEEDS AND THESE PAST 3 YRS HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST !! HIS SOCIAL SKILLS, CONFIDENCE AND DISCIPLINE HAVE IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY SENSEI SAMANTHA GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE HIS NEEDS ARE BEING MET AND PERFORMING AS INSTRUCTED HER PATIENCE IS COMMENDABLE I TRULY APPRECIATE THE LOVE AND JOY…
Highly recommended and best Dojo in Laredo. Children from different ages and backgrounds. Learn discipline, inner strength, comradery, and have self-esteem through Karate. Family oriented and fun place for your children. If you want your child to excel physically, emotionally and mentally, this is the place to be.
New to Karate? Start at MATSUMURA KARATE USA
MATSUMURA KARATE USA 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 MATSUMURA KARATE USA
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.
