Kristian and Katheryn are excellent Martial Arts Sensei instructors for the kids. The kids also view them as another motherly or fatherly-figure for the more support they gave them.
Sensei Kristian and Sensei Katheryn are incredible teachers. They’re not only teaching my son karate, they’re teaching him body awareness, discipline, and perseverance, all at just 5 years old. The best part is that he’s having a blast while learning these important lessons.
Your first Karate class at Shinkai Dojo
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.
