From the reviews
My husband, son, and myself all do karate together as a family. We absolutely love Tang Soo Do! The instructor, Mr. Randy, is amazing. He is an excellent teacher with lots of patience, encouragement, and understanding. The other students are also very helpful and encouraging as well.
This is a great place to learn karate - for both children and adults. It is a very friendly, inviting atmosphere that is more family-oriented. There is something for everyone here - opportunities to learn different weapons in addition to the traditional curriculum, sparring, board breaking and the opportunity to…
Great place to learn Karate for children of ANY age. Mr Randy (the instructor) is phenomenal. You see so much growth in your kids, literally, right before your eyes. And most importantly, they have so much fun. These classes are such a great balance between discipline, fun and friendliness.
Great place for kids and adults to learn martial arts. It's like a big family in there. And when go to competitions they take home tons of metals. Highly recommend this place
New to Karate? Start at PKSA Karate Lansing
PKSA Karate Lansing comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at PKSA Karate Lansing
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.
