From the reviews
We’re new to Pallens and thus far love the energy and mission. Sifu Jordan is amazing with the young kids and balances fun with discipline. Only thing keeping me from a 5 rating is that they are going through some growing pains and making post COVID adjustments which makes each session a bit inconsistent but they have…
Pallens is awesome! There is a real sense of community and our kids get taught life lessons and ethics, not just karate!

My son has been with Pallens since the pandemic. He absolutely loves it there. The staff here has been so welcoming, friendly, and super easy to communicate with.
Your first Karate class at Pallen's 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.
