What students say
“White is a great teacher.”
“OMA teaches a form of Korean Karate called Tang Soo Do.”
From the reviews
OMA teaches a form of Korean Karate called Tang Soo Do. While there are many different forms of Karate, over the last year I’ve seen this as the most practical and balanced between striking and kicking.
Mr. White and Ms. Kris are great! My daughter has learned not only karate and sparring skills, but has gained confidence and growth mindset.
Mr. White is a great teacher. I love how he is able to handle my so with ADHD and autism.
Your first Karate class at Odyssey 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.
