From the reviews

We looked at five or six different martial arts schools when choosing a dojo for our son. Mark and Anna were clearly the best! Our son has studied with them since 2007. We have never regretted our decision. They have a truly amazing program for kids, teens, and adults.

★★★★★ — Shane, Jan 2018

MEKA is really the best thing we have done for our kids. Not only are they learning the amazing art of karate by the best instructors, but they are learning responsibility, discipline, confidence, respect and life skills. The kids are always encouraged and never made to feel like they are not worthy.

★★★★★ — Karen, Jan 2018

Mountain Eagle Karate Academy is an incredible Dojo! I love the way they teach their students self discipline, respect, and mind/body control through life skills and teach karate skills in a way even the youngest kids can get involved!

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2020

We love MEKA! They have helped build our son into a respectful, confident, disciplined and dedicated young man. What started as something to pass the time has turned into an incredible love and respect for karate. The lessons he learns every week will carry him all of his life.

Your first Karate class at Mountain Eagle Karate 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.

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.
