From the reviews

If you are thinking of sending your child to a karate studio, this Is the place to go. Mister C knows every child's name and every parent's name. He's an amazing teacher and very kind as well. You can't do better.

★★★★★ — T.J., Nov 2020

Sensei is really great, he loves what he does and teaching the kids. He builds great relationships with the families. The kids all respond very well to Sensei's style of teaching.

★★★★★ — Genyl, Aug 2018

Mr. C's Karate School of Shito-Ryu is absolutely the best karate school in the Clovis/Fresno area! My three children have been attending weekly classes since 2019. The children learn about discipline and control and gain confidence. This people are so warm, it's more like a family.

Your first Karate class at Mr C's Karate School-Shitoryu

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.
