From the reviews
I have been at this dojo for almost 1 year now and it is great! I would highly suggest this to anyone looking to take Martial Arts. I came from a different style than Shotokan but the teachers have helped me along the way and there have been diverse events to go to, including training camps, tournaments, and classes…
Está clase es buenísima para los niños, mi hija de 10 años tiene practicando 8 meses y le va muy bien, es excelente para formar carácter y aprender a tener mejor concentración.
Our whole family has been going here forever. Great martial art if you want to learn the very basics to advanced. Also, very affordable since it starts at like $65/month.
Your first Karate class at Shotokan Karate Do Center, Houston Texas
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.
