From the reviews
My daughter's started here this past month. Several lessons are being taught to them simultaneously without them knowing. Discipline, focus, respect, self-defense, honor, tradition, teamwork and self-reliance.
Shou Shu Martial Arts is the best self defense you can every take! I have been with them since November 2017. Most of the techniques that you are doing are real life scenarios. What to do when an aggressive person attacks you? What to do if the choke you? What happens if they put you in a headlock?
Love this place. If your looking for more then just karate you cant ask for a better place then Shou Shu martial arts, my son has learned more than just self defense and has grown immensely as a young man. They teach humility, respect, and honor. My sons self confidence has grown so much with Shifu Alexis and team.
Our son has been with Alexis and her team for going on 4 years. Our son has gained self-confidence, leadership skills, self defense skills, and learned countless techniques. He has made friendships and bonds with students and teachers alike. Alexis is flexible with scheduling and even offers private lessons.
Your first Karate class at Shou Shu 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.
