What students say
“From the moment we stepped foot into that first class, the warmth and familiarity from the staff, who already knew my son by name, enveloped us.”
“The dojo is a welcoming place that knows every student by name and works with them not only on improving their skills but also their character.”
“They have been taking classes for about a year and I have not only noticed growth in their technique, but also it has had an impact on their attitude and perspective in life.”
“My son loves every instructor and looks forward to attending class.”
“Watching him effortlessly command the attention of the children, weaving in elements of fun while instilling discipline, is truly remarkable.”
From the reviews
We stumbled upon New Generation Karate after our son attended a birthday bash of one of his pals. While I missed out on the party buzz, the rave reviews from my son about the fun he had there nudged us to give it a shot. Opting for the free trial classes seemed like a no-brainer before diving in.
My son is autistic and has special needs. He is used to being treated “differently” at school with a one to one aide and in other areas of his life. But at the DOJO, he is treated the same as every other child. Every child who practices at the dojo are taught acceptance and understanding.
Finding New Generation Karate was a beautiful surprise and blessing. For a long time I wanted to enroll my kids in karate, but was unsure where to send them. I heard about New Gen from a friend and I decided to check it out. It was the BEST decision!
New Generation Karate is truly a remarkable place. My kids enrolled last year but I wish I started them earlier. They’re learning karate and how to defend themselves, but they’re also learning so much more. Such as respect, perseverance, self control, hard work and discipline.
New to Karate? Start at New Generation Karate - Martial Arts & Fitness
New Generation Karate - Martial Arts & Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at New Generation Karate - Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
