From the reviews

We enrolled our boys in Savannah Martial Arts back in Late February. Since then, they have grown more confident, are displaying strong leadership characteristics, listening skills and self discipline.

We love Savannah Martial Arts! Our son is growing so much in his personal character development! Mr Gabe is a great teacher. He is great with the kids and has so much patience and grace. You can tell he loves what he does and he loves the kids. Great organization for your child’s development.

★★★★★ — Priscilla, Oct 2025

I can not say enough about how much I love their program for little ninjas, Mr Gabriel is my son's instructor. My son is 5 yrs old and has AdHd. As you can imagine he has trouble sitting still and focusing when he should be.

★★★★★ — Cloiy, Jun 2023

I was looking for the right place for my son to take Karate and I found the perfect place at Pooler Karate. Soon after we moved over to their new location at Savannah Martial Arts right around the corner from our home. I am picky momma when it comes to my kiddos and I can't be happier with their whole team.

Your first Karate class at Savannah Martial Arts

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.
