From the reviews

I initially inquired with presti karate for my daughter and after talking with the instructor my sob was interested too. He has learning and physical challenges so I was initially hesitant but all of the instructors have been wonderful with both of my kids.

★★★★★ — Cristie, Apr 2023

Great place to learn martial Arts friendly instructors that will go out of their way to help. (Only weird thing is not enough of older students to practice with) I'm almost 25 (low level belt) and its kinda strange Practicing self defense with younger kids) (14-17 years old) but other then that its a great place.

Your first Karate class at Presti Karate Centers

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.
