From the reviews

Awesome staff, good prices. Master Dillow (7th degree black belt) is very passionate about the morals and integrity behind the black belt in addition to the physical skills. Also it's more about growth and improvement than perfection so any of physical abilities can be involved and be successful.

★★★★★ — Peter, Aug 2024

Great group, owner is awesome and his staff are great to work with. They enjoy and are very passionate about the work they do. They push people hard but always make sure they are still having fun. Great environment with very reasonable prices and some truly talented people.

★★★★★ — Peter, Apr 2024

We started our boys here a few months ago and we love it. Master Dillow and Ms. Bolton do an amazing job with educating and engaging the kids. Ours sons have flourished in the short time they have been attending and I am very pleased with the classes. I really like that the belts arent just a participation award.

★★★★★ — Lanae, Jul 2019

Master Dillow is fantastic with both kids and adults. This is a great program. Stop in and say hi. You'll get a good feel for the offerings and how they are taught. At the least, give them a call. Beginners to black belts and beyond! (Yes, there's a lot to keep learning after you earn your black belt.)

Your first Karate class at Pride 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.
