Discipline is the first thing that I love about Next Level Karate ! If you want your kid with karate skills and discipline, Next Level Karate is your place. My daughter loves karate more than anything else.
We whole family joined PKSA Novi an year back and we really enjoy our classes , celebrations , tournament trainings . It feels like we all like one family when we are there Me. Kelly and Mrs.
We love PKSA Novi! By far the best experience for us and our son Preston in the martial arts community! Very family oriented! A great mix of fun,discipline and training! We love the instructors here! They have done an excellent job in making Preston the very best martial artist that he can be!
Our 8yo son has been in it a few months, but he loves it and wants to keep coming back. Master Kelly and the co-teachers are very encouraging and supportive to all the students and the organization is not only well organized in terms of their basic belt classes but it offers a lot of extra opportunities like…
New to Karate? Start at Next Level Karate
Next Level Karate 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 Next Level 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.
