From the reviews

My daughter is 8years old. She started karate brand new this school 2021-2022. At first she didn't want to go everyday. After being home for a year I understood but I had her stick with it. She has qualified for every belt test. She lost weight. She wants to keep moving forward.

★★★★★ — Crystal, Jun 2022

My daughter has been with the program for 2 years now. It has been such a blessing in regards to after school options: besides learning how to defend herself, it has done wonders on her confidence and self esteem. I highly recommend SA Kids Karate.

★★★★★ — Ana, Sep 2017

My son started training at SA Kids Karate when he was 6 years old. He earned his junior black belt at 10, thanks to constant training through the after school program and summer camp. He is now 14, a junior instructor, and my teacher.

★★★★★ — Christina, Jan 2020

Started my 5yo son in their summer program to see how he would do. He loves going to his karate class! Starting off going twice a week worked out with my schedule and "testing the waters". We've even visited the Bandera dojo dojo with Sensei Crystal. This is an awesome place to train kids in karate.

Your first Karate class at S A Kids 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.
