Shotokan Karate & Self-defense
4.2 ★★★★☆ 5 Google reviews · Karate dojo in Orem, Utah
Part of Shotokan Karate (JKA)
Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews
Just noticed there is only 1 prior review so will comment: Noji is an Excellent instructor and the group is cordial and supportive. I started because my son wanted to go, but am also thoroughly enjoying and benefiting from it. All ages and both genders from 8 to well into 70's attend.
I have trained here for going on 16yrs. Its always intersting, informative and challenging. The environment is fun, yet tough and informative at the same time.the instructor cares about the students success and prepares the students for real life situations.
Your first Karate class at Shotokan Karate & Self-defense
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.
