From the reviews
A little over a month ago our daughter took her first trial class at Middlebury Martial Arts Academy. After that class she left the floor asking us to become a member. I have watched every class since and it is taught with a very high level of respect for the art, while not making it intimidating to the student.
My 8-year-old daughter has been training at Middlebury Martial Arts Academy for over a year now, starting as a white belt and proudly earning her green belt. The progress she’s made has been incredible—not just in martial arts skills, but also in confidence, focus, and discipline.
2 of the kids go here. Great classes for all ages and good energy in the instructors. We love it!
My daughter started her karate adventure when she was just 3.5yrs old, first in a little dragons class and now she is about to move to the green belt level. We enjoy watching her practice and execute all the moves and see how disciplined and confident she became, both in the karate studio and at school.
Your first Karate class at Middlebury Martial Arts Academy
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.
