From the reviews
These people really care about your kids! They want your kids to succeed! This school has really boosted my son's self esteem!
I love this school. My son is 5, we tried karate last year when he was 4 and it didn't go over so well. But, now my son attends class twice a week and actually WANTS to go. He just took his first test and completed it on his first try by himself I am so proud.
My son is a student here. We couldn't have found a better fit for him! Master Sam is super attentive to the students (regardless of age), and her staff and helpers build a welcoming community for new students. COVID-19 impacted all businesses.... that said...
Your first Karate class at Scranton Karate School
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.
