My kid loves this place. As a parent I’ve noticed increased positive behaviors since he joined national karate. This place emphasizes on skills training while keeping it fun for the kids. We’ve noticed improvement in focus, determination, coordination, and confidence as a result of the wonderful teachers here.
I've been attending classes here for years and they are simply the best. The instructors are great with both kids and adults, teaching while having fun at the same time. And the results speak for themselves...
Absolutely great for kids and adults. Instructors are good about helping achieve proper technique while allowing for the mistakes made while learning. It's a great environment.
Top level instructors and a talented friendly and competitive team of students. I was able to drop in for an open mat kickboxing class and had a blast, thanks guys!
Your first Karate class at National Karate Schools
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.
