From the reviews
I've been training with Master Delenela for over ten years, so I hope to give an insider glimpse into what training at the academy is like. It's a very encouraging environment. Students are treated respectfully and Master Delenela is one of the most patient teachers I have seen.
We have been part of Round Rock Karate Academy family for more than 7 years. My twins joined as Little Dragons and now they are Black Belt one stripe in training for the second stipe, and junior instructors. My children love to be there and I love it as well, as they are in the most capable hands they can be.
Both my sons have trained at RRKA and we have been superbly impressed with Master Delenela and his staff there. They have helped our boys become more confident, more focused, and more mature as they become young men.
This is a great school for any level karate student. Master Delenela works wonderfully with the children. From the beginning, I saw how he creates a family within the school, and the Dons ( Tyler and Wyatt) work great with the kids as well.
New to Karate? Start at Round Rock Karate Academy
Round Rock Karate Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Round Rock Karate Academy
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.
