From the reviews
There should be ten stars available instead of five. As the mother of a special needs young adult it's sometimes difficult to find a good fit. My son and I decided to give Relentless Martial Arts a try because they offered an open invite to experience a class.
I have trained at Relentless Martial Arts for over two years now. With out hesitation I would strongly recommend Relentless to anyone looking to develop themselves positively. Whether that be physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
If you’re looking for elite instruction and a welcoming culture, Relentless Martial Arts is the gold standard. The training is high-intensity and technical, making it perfect for both competitive sport and practical self-defense.
My son is learning martial arts in Relentless for more than 6+ years. This is one of the best Martial Arts ever in Tulsa. Guro Brandon Bennett is one of the best influential instructor not only teaching karate but focus more on helping the kids to learn self discipline, respect, confidence and many other life style…
New to Karate? Start at Relentless Martial Arts
Relentless Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Relentless 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.
