From the reviews
I will speak for this karate. It is very good. We got Sensei with his very cool black belt showing and explaining karate moves, forms and all of that. I have been going for a year or two now and honestly its nice, chill and great. It may be hard sometimes but honestly. I enjoy it.
The best place to send you children to get disciplined and to learn something new for their own benefit.
My daughter and I train at this dojo and it really captures the true essence of what Shotokan Karate is all about. I would highly recommend!
I recommend it. A pleasant and professional place with a lot of discipline and security, and good teaching.
Your first Karate class at Red Tiger Academy of 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.
