From the reviews
We lucked out that Sgro Karate was the first studio we contacted about lessons for our 3 boys. The prices are more than fair, there are no contracts, and the owners are very big on transparency. That’s all we knew in the beginning. Now that we’ve been there 6 months, it’s so much more.
Amazing, professional, encouraging, accessible and affordable. Master Sgro's discipline toward all the family is outstanding...!!!
My son LOVES SGRO karate! Since joining he has been more focused at school & home. David (The owner/ sensei) is such a wonderful man. He truly cares about his students! Firm with them but more than fair. He truly wants to make sure they go down the right paths in life.
Master SGRO is the best Teacher thus far..I appreciate his dedication to ALL his Students..He only practice positive influence,strenght,determination and focus.Even I learn a lot just sitting in the classroom listening to Master SGRO.Never say ..I CAN NOT..yes you can.🌏🙌
New to Karate? Start at SGRO Martial Arts
SGRO Martial Arts 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 SGRO 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.
