From the reviews

Pasadena Martial Arts Dojo is my church. Jujutsu is my religion. Terry Ham Sensei, is my teacher. There is no place else that I would call...HOME.

★★★★★ — Dio, Jun 2017

Perfect place for children and adults alike to start from scratch or refine their skills(separate sessions of course). Sensei demonstrates the techniques and explains the real-world application while maintaining a safe training environment for everyone.

★★★★★ — Fernando, Aug 2013

I have known Terry to be an upright and committed instructor for some years now. As a colleague, I can say his teaching method, understanding of the martial arts and his commitment to the progress of his students is inspiring.

Your first Karate class at Pasadena 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.

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.
