★★★★★ — Marlaena, Jun 2025

I LOVE POWER OF ONE! My daughter does karate and I do kickboxing. I was super out of shape when I started and not sure if I would be any good. I am six months in and am so glad I decided to give it a try. Best workout I ever had. My daughter is learning invaluable lessons in life and protecting herself.

★★★★★ — Stacey, Jun 2019

My son has been coming here for about 8 months now; 3 times per week. He loves coming, and he looks forward to his next class when he isn't here. Sensei Jeremy and Miss J are very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Mean, Jun 2019

My son has been coming to Power of One for 2 years and he loves it here. The senseis are amazing with the kids here they teach kids how to defend themselves and make it fun while doing so.

Your first Karate class at Power Of One Martial Arts Of Upland

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.
