This is an awesome place to train! The instructors are knowledgeable and constantly encourage the students to do their best.

I've been a member for 8 years and it was fun and a great workout. Karate at this establishment was exciting for the kids and the adults in the program. The instructors knew how to do their job and do it right by giving out as much and details as possible.

★★★★★ — Legacy, Feb 2021

I found this dojang after 10 years off from the art and I couldn't be happier I found them. Master Roman and all the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and supportive. They truly want every student, from the little 5 year old to the adults, to succeed.

Your first Karate class at Roman's Shin Karate Institute

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.
