From the reviews
Wow, I'm glad to know you're still teaching. Many years have already passed. I don't remember how old you are. Something that saddens me is that my First Dan certificate was destroyed by ants and there is no way to show it to my 2 children. My oldest son is trying to practice Kenpo (this martial art looks strange).
My son was researching Karate studios and based on there professionalism he chose this Dojo. When he went for the trial class he loved it. He admires his teachers and looks forward to going to class. This has greatly changed his confidence and made him more disciplined.
If you are looking to learn self defense, or even just work out to stay in shape this is the best place in town! Have been training here for 7 years and its been a blast.
My daughter takes classes and loves it! I can't say enough good things about the teachers and style of teaching.
Your first Karate class at ProKarate Grand Rapids
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.
