From the reviews

Enrolling my son in this class has been the best decision I've ever made. He has been attending class for years and has worked his way to a brown belt with the help and encouragement of Sensei Luis and Sensei Mark. They have a way of commanding respect but also making the journey fun and engaging.

Great martial arts when I first arrived to the academy I felt comfortable because everyone was so nice and after a while I think think about them as just partners I knew them as family they care for you and the would help you on everything it's a lot of fun and the sensei's are very kind and respectful hope to see you…

My kid is happy learning a lot self defense and rules of respect and discipline. I feel very confortable in that place and the teachers are respectful and kind. I recomend this academy for helping to us to educate our kids emotionally and phisically.

Your first Karate class at North Jersey Bujinkan Buyu

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
