My eleven year old son has been a student for nearly seven years and has benefitted greatly from his training at Ohana.

My Son's attitude, self-discipline, and confidence have improved. Ohana karate has a positive and uplifting environment! Sensei is a very hospitable teacher. I just started in the adult class and it is awesome! Everyone is welcoming and accepting regardless of skill level.

★★★★★ — Steven, Jan 2023

Amazing Dojo focusing on the overall mental and physical health of every student. Ohana adapted to the pandemic by immediately going to online classes and did not miss a beat, showing true leadership in the face of uncertain times!

Your first Karate class at Ohana 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.

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.
