★★★★★ — Logan, Jul 2017

My little ninja enjoys the instruction from Master Daniel, Master David, and Master Clay- he's learned enough to want to continue on through his black belt. I absolutely recommend this for anyone with serious interest in martial arts. Ask Master Clay about pressure points while you're there, you won't be disappointed!

★★★★★ — Kason, Jul 2018

My son has learned a ton in the Little Ninjas course. This isn't just a show up and let them watch your kid for an hour, they experience real training and the Masters are excellent with them. I highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Mariann, Jul 2018

This place is awesome. Mr. Pierson is the best teacher. He is so patient and understanding when teaching the kids. My son is on his third belt in 6 months. He has learned so much about self defense. Richmond Hill karate will not disappoint you. Love this place and all the instructors!

Your first Karate class at Richmond Hill Karate

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.
