From the reviews
Thank you all at the Dojo for building confidence and skills to Brandon. I have seen him progress this year. I recommend New Tampa Karate to everyone. Sensei Eddie and all his team are all trained and specialized to train each child. They are constantly active throughout the whole class.
Our son Jakoby absolutely loves New Tampa Karate! Sensei Eddie, his wife, and the entire team have created such a welcoming and positive environment for all the students. The instructors are fantastic — patient, motivating, and great with kids.
We love New Tampa Karate! Our son has been practicing Karate here for the past two years and it has been a great experience. Sensei Edi and all staff are great, they care about the kids learning, but also about building up their character and confidence, with respect and kindness. They are very welcoming and engaging.
My kids have been going to New Tampa Karate since they were 2-3years old , now it’s over 12yrs and they have achieved great self defense and fitness techniques, they have outstanding teachers-Sensei Eddie, and all the sensei are very talented. Ms Emily is amazing! She is very courteous and very helpful.
Your first Karate class at New Tampa Karate
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.
