From the reviews
The instructor is excellent at working with the students at their level. He keeps their interest and discipline although at times he seems to be going too fast --he's not. My grandson was made to feel welcome and accepted frrom the beginning. The instructor connects with each child on a personal basis.
My son has been a student at this dojo for 5 years. His self confidence, perseverance, and self discipline have grown in remarkable ways. I attribute that solely to what he has learned from Master L and Deshi. This is an excellent opportunity for kids and adults!
The program here is great. Sansei and Deshi are good instructors, very patient and fun to work with. They’re great with the kids and keep them focused. The kids learn about self defense, what to do in a bullying situation, how to respect each other and discipline. Classes are for Adults and Children.
New Era is top notch. Master L and Deshi are absolutely phenomenal with their teaching style and are great with connecting with the kids, making things fun, and incorporating good morals. My daughter looks forward to class every week. Thank you all for what you do!
Your first Karate class at New Era Martial Arts
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.
