From the reviews

Great family run karate studio. Our 8 and 11 year old have been going here for 1.5 years. They really work with the kids and adults, and it's obvious that they really care about their students. Through covid they have been doing outside, zoom, and now distanced classes in the dojo trying to give everyone options.

★★★★★ — Eric, Nov 2020

Family-owned dojo serving the Santa Clarita Valley. Wonderful space with wonderful instructors, featuring classes of various belt levels thought the week, along with judo and fitness classes on select days. *Classes are remarkably affordable!* The value of what you get for what you pay is incredible.

★★★★★ — Jay, Jun 2019

As my friend Amber wrote in her review, (we trained here together for many years) this place was a second home to me. I was taught how to push myself to new limits, and learned more than I ever could've imagined. I learned more than Katas, Koshki, self defense, ect.

★★★★★ — Britain, Jun 2019

Absolutely wonderful Karate School. Our 8 year old has never been more excited! All the Senseis are great, best part is it's family owned, so they really understand children very well. And to say 'reasonably priced' is an understatement. Highly recommended, you can easily disregard any troll reviews.

Your first Karate class at Santa Clarita 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.
