From the reviews
This is the best martial arts school!!! My kids loves the classes and activities, great instructors.They learned discipline,respect and confidence and the most important thing they made friends
Matthews has wonderful coaches, especially Quanah, Braden, and Sam. As someone who had never done anything athletic before going into karate, I always felt comfortable and like I could I hard things! They worked with me through my pregnancy as well.
Levi has been in class for over a year now, we can’t express how thankful we are that we stumbled upon them. Levi always dreamed of being a Ninja and Matthew’s martial arts is making that dream come true! He has grown and gained so much confidence over this past year. We look forward to our journey to black belt.
I have nothing but great words for this place. My son is ADHD and has behavioral issues that we were desperately needing a sense of direction and a way to manage it. He has been attending for nearly a month now and I can already see some improvement.
Your first Karate class at Matthews Martial Arts, Midland Texas
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.
